So we buy new sarees n dresses, wear the Onakkodi and collect flowers Onapoo , go to temple and decorate the front yard with pookalam
The most beautiful part for me is pookalam in the front yard of our house. I vie with my cuz to see whose is best.
These days the youth totally indulges in extravagant decor in their sangams
We keep Trikaraiyappan ( Vamana Avatar) in the centre n pray for everyone's prosperity
