Oordhwa pundram

[Guest guest]

Dear Bhagavatas,

 

I need some help regarding wearing oordhwa pundram. Though I wear them some

times, I am not good at that. I mean, the oordhwa pundram (Tenkalai style)

doesn't come out well some times especially Tiruman i.e it is not straight,

broken lines, etc.. I use silver stick to draw the same. Can you tell me if

there is a better way of drawing it or is there any better tool or some such

thing to draw it.

 

Thanks & Regards

Mohan.R

Dear bhAgavatas,

Once, I had a debate with my sanskrit master on the shape of Urdhva-

pundram (he is a vadakalai) - he argued that nAsikA-mUlam is the part

between the two eyebrows and Urdva-pundram's lower tip should touch

nAsika-mUlam according to Agams. Thenkalai version of extending it

below to the nose is hence wrong. I disagreed saying that nAsika-

mUlam may mean lower tip, but he didn't agree.

Can anyone provide references for our version of Urdhva-pundram & the

justifications of it?

 

Dear mohan, here is a silly suggestion - can you tell someone to

apply it for you?

 

Regards,

Kasturi Rangan .K
