Sumuhurtham

At the sumuhurtam, precisely auspicious moment, with the cloth veil still upheld, the bride and the groom place and hold a paste, made of cumin seeds and Jaggery/ brown sugar, (jeelakarra-Bellam)over each other's heads. The cloth veil is then removed, unveiling the "new' life in holy matrimony.This sumuhurtam was the moment decided by purohitulavAru (the high priest) during our engagement.
