Hi All,
I was just wondering if anybody in this forum has Varalakshmi nombu. My family did not have it but my husbands family does. I have been married only 2 years now. This will be my 3rd nombu. I am celebrating it tomorrow. I know that people who have it in India, may already have celebrated it. But I would appreciate if you could post how you celebrated.
I know that telegu's also have this nombu and do it a little differently from us (Tamil Brahmin Iyer). I make uppu and vella kozhakattai, vadai, payasam, adhirsam and sundal. I dont do much for decorating amman. Just some flowers, the traditional cotton malai, saree, etc.
I once visited an Iyengar friend's house who actually replicated a garden in front of amman!
Do let me know what others in this forum did. Any photos will be appreciated.
Thank you
