This ritual is done to ward off evil Drishti (negative energy) and to invoke the blessings of family deities and Lord Ganesha for a smooth and successful wedding.
Cultural Significance
The bamboo pole used in this ritual is a representation of the Kula Devata (family deity) and is considered a symbol of fertility, purity, and divine energy. By offering prayers to the pole, the families symbolically pray to the ancestral deity and Lord Ganesha to remove any obstacles.
The ritual brings the extended family together and sets the spiritual tone for the days to follow.
Ritual Process
- The pooja begins with Ganapathi Puja, seeking the removal of all hurdles
- A long bamboo pole is cleaned and decorated with turmeric (manjal) and kumkum
- The bamboo is erected at the entrance of the house, tied securely with sacred thread or yellow cloth
- Prayers are offered to the Kula Devata and Lord Ganesha
- Family elders and relatives gather to bless the couple symbolically
- The priest performs a brief homam or mantra chanting to sanctify the ritual
