Shatyabthapoorthy

My parents had their Shatyabthapoorthy conducted last week. Its similar to renewing ones marriage vows.
Here are some of the snaps from the event.




The homams were conducted in their usual flair, with 7 vadhyar's each upping the tempo! It was a memorable event (as seen from my brother's eyes). I am seriously impressed by their capacity to go on and on in the sweltering Chennai heat!




A much needed break for Dad and Mom from Chennai's Agninatshathiram. The sweltering heat makes people vaporize! After a nice piping hot homam :-), the groom and the bride get a nice Abishekam! At least that will cool them down a bit!







The final garlanding takes place where groom says, "Yes I do".
This I do is not for "Do you take this woman as your wife" but for "I shall continue to pay all your credit cards, bills, and renovate the kitchen"

And then mom says "Yes I do"
This I do is for "Yes, I shall continue making nice soodana pakodas, muruku, seedai, sambar vadai etc." (Slurrrup!")




And then all goes back to normal, everyone back to hating the chennai heat, enjoying a nice evening on T.N. Seshagopalan's cutchery and sipping nice hot kaapi!
