Dear Sri Vasu Mama,

Abhivadaye and namaskaramas.

I had a query regarding the mangalyam that is worn by ladies after marriage.Â

What is the special significance of the shape. I have seem Iyer women have a

Shivalingam or Tulasi maadam on the mnagalayam and Iyengar women have the

Shanku and Chakram. \can you please provide more information on this.

Â

With Best Regards,

Sandeep Subramanian

Mangalya dharnam is a latest arrival, for which we don't have any vaideeka

formula or prayogam in ancient books.

Also, for this no special vedha manthram provided till date.

 

Vaaranamayiram - by Andal is explaining the most important steps of a cultural

vedic marriage, in which Andal is describing " Maithunan nambi madhusudhan

vandhennai KAITHALAM PATRA kanaak kanden thozhi " .

Hence she also told nothing about mangalyam.

 

As per sastram, a piece of gold should be donated (as dhaanam) to the varan with

the kannikai, to keep that gold in a safe and auspicious position people started

to wear it as a jewel. Also people made a routine to engrave their own religious

symbols in that gold piece.

15 years back I wrote a research article on this (which was published in major

religious magazines) called " Ethukalyan Maangalyam thanthunaavaa? " .
