Thalambrala Plate

This is the fun part of the wedding where not only the couple but the entire family enjoys. In this ritual, the bride and groom pour ‘Talambralu’ (rice mixed with turmeric) on each other’s head like a shower.
The first 3 times, the couple shower ‘Talambralu’ on each other properly, after that it becomes a competition on who pours more. Now, other things like rose petals, pearls, colorful thermocol balls are also mixed in the rice.
In the spirit of the game, the friends and relatives gather on respective sides of the couple and they pull them back while the other is trying to pour like in the above pic, I am being pulled back by my cousins so that Rajesh can’t reach me. This event brings out a lot of laughter and enjoyment all around and the event signifies the happiness and prosperity of the marriage.
