Pelli poola Jada

Surya-Chandra Hair ornaments or Suryaprabha-Chandraprabha Can you imagine our Pellivadhuvu without sooryudu chandrudu?? Life on earth is sustained due to almighty of sun and peaceful cool moon. Sun governs soul and moon rules emotions and feelings.    For the Bride: Chandra-prabha (the Moon) and Surya-prabha (the Sun) which are fixed on the left (the Moon) and the right (the Sun) sides of the hair parting with the purpose of endowing the bride with their beauty and shining of sun and moon and to have a balance over emotions and feelings in married life. Remember: "The Surya billa (Sun) is to be worn on the right and Chandra billa (Moon) on the left." Sun-Moon hair ornaments almost disappeared in Telugu weddings, but still Tamil brides follow it closely. Here i'm showing some of the pics of beautiful brides who embranced Surya-Chandra Hair ornaments for their wedding.      C...

Telugu Wedding is a sophisticated affair and is made up of a variety of rituals and ceremonies that expand over several days. According to the custom the girl should always carry some betel leaves, betel nuts, a coconut, a sandalwood stick and a red pumpkin.

Every year, there should be some social/ voluntary activity is the one of the Objective of Pellipoolajada. We wanted to Start 2015 with making poolajadalu for Grandmothers of Old age homes....just wanted to see them happy in the last phase of their life. We consulted 5 old age homes in Hyderabad about our idea, but the management did not give us green signal... and we had only last 5 days of 2014 to decide what to do for New Year. With no option left, i asked Cognizant-Outreach team to suggest a school/Orphanage for adoring kids with poolajadalu. Shravan suggested me "Safe Charitable Foundation" of BN Reddy colony. There were around 40kids, 20 girls and 20 boys. When we saw the pictures of girls, most of them had haircut. So we dropped the idea of poolajadalu and focused on Flower jewellery. As most of them did not have traditional dresses, we estimated the cost of dress and flower jewellery for event, which came to 35K. To keep the program budget in limit, i requested ...

Checked langa, Aravanki, Dollar chain, gold jada kuppulu, wrist watch,sooryudu chandrudu, Mirror in background and photo frame....nostalgic right?? Most probably these pictures may be taken during summer when jasmine flowers are abundant. Rashmi garu sent these pics of her amma, Ratna kumari garu and pinni krishna kumari garu. I remember my Aunt's similar black and white picture which is still in their drawing hall. Whenever i visit any of my relatives in West godavari district, i love watching the black and white photos framed and kept in bedroom. My peddamma wedding pics full album is framed..... Definitely these sisters may have so many memories associated with these pics. This is th...
