parrot green glass bangles / Gill Saheb

[Guest guest]

Respected Gill saheb,

 

This is a devised upaya of Pt. Bhooshan Priya ji.

 

Mercury can not be represented better than it is through totayee hare

kanch ki chudian. Parrot green [ totayee hara ] is the exact colour of

mercury; glass is a material representing mercury; the closed shape [

dayara ] of a bangle represents mercury. Thus in one karak object we

find three qualities of mercury i.e. colour, material and the shape.

No other karak object of mercury has all these three qualities at one

place and at one time.

I believe in the Punjab area this colour is called tutiyah hara, I am

not sure though.

 

You probably might know that Pt. Bhooshan Priya ji is a very keen

observer of folk traditions, and always tries to correlate them to the

Lal Kitab concepts. In Uttar Pradesh at the time of marriage the bride

leaves her parental home wearing parrot green glass bangles. These

bangles are changed into red glass bangles in her sasural after a

short ceremony known as Kangan Khulai, when the kangan is untied. Both

the bride and the bride groom wear a home made kangan for the marriage.

 

This is her journey from a daughter to being a wife. In the Punjab

area I believe the bride wears a red coloured chuda.

 

Not only that, when the daughters of the village come to their

parental home during the month of Sawan, they are gifted parrot green

bangles to wear for that entire period of stay in the village. It

shows that the village folks had traditionally identified the parrot

green glass bangles with the daughter.

 

It was in these contexts Pt. Bhooshan Priya ji accepted parrot green

glass bangles as the most suitable karak object of Mercury.

 

Regards,

 

Varun Trivedi
