Re: [sv-rituals] Bangle-ceremony

From the Bhakti List Archives

Sadagopan gopan • August 28, 2002 


Dear Ute: 
This celebration is called VaLai Kaapu 
ceremony in Tamil. Kappu means protection.
VaLai stands for Bangles. I do not know if there is no
Vedic significance for VaLai Kaapu other than
a social function . Simanta and Pumsavana is for 
the purification of growing baby inside the Mother's womb.
That has Vedic Significance .
