    Hi Monu,

    Main function details: You need to get 3 dozens of bangles (glass bangles), your mother can present anything like gold bangle(if she wishes-optional).

    Keep some fruits in a plate, some chocolates in one plate, sandlewood in a bowl and kungumam (red powder we use to keep in head).

    In the Function: The elder person in the family apply little sandle in your face, hand and keep kungumam in your head and put 2 bangles in your hand and give their gift. you can get blessing from them. This is how function goes.

    It depends on caste to caste - some wear their wedding saree on that day, some wear new saree.

    Hope I have helped you something and others might help you more. My best wishes and safe delivery :thumbsup.

    So nice to hear that you are going to celebrate Vallaikappu. I wish I can attend.

    If you don't get glass bangles ( traditional), you can go for metal. One hand should have odd number and other one is even number of bangles.

    In our community, the girl gets black sari ( for evil eye) form her mother.

    You invite few friends. It is mainly ladies function. But over here, men are included too.

    Have a wonderful celebration.

    Dear Latha or anyone with some info on this,

    I am the sister in law of the mother-to-be. Since we don't live in India Seemantham/valigappu cannot be performed in parental home, which is in India. My husband and I do not want my SIL to miss out on anything and so we wanted to do seemantham/valigappu at our home.
    Her mom is coming from India but not 100% sure of the date yet. We want to make sure that we don't wait till 9th month because of the late pregnancy. So we were thinking about 8th month.

    I am going to make sure that i buy everything for my sister in law, but i did not understand what exactly are the below:

    1. Allam Mottu
    2. Mulampandri stick
    3. neem kaapu...is it made of neem leaves?

    Also, can someone please tell me how many verities of sweets shaould I make? I was told that I need to make 7 or 9 verities of rice as well. Any suggestions?

    Thanks ladies! I greatly appreciate your inputs!

    Hi,

    Valikappu is a function, which announces all that, our DIL or we will have a heir soon, So please bless her and her child.

    You already hear about the Positive rays and Negative rays.

    When pregnancy moves to a certain phase, every woman must afraid little bit. For that, Old people who have more than 3 children will put bangles in our hands and says, "i have these much children, all are normal delivery. So don't worry, Keep your pregnancy happy" Like that.

    They put Neem bangle to avoid infections.

    As well as pregnant woman can see many ladies who have many child and happy about that plus she gain positive confident.

    Bangles:-

    In old days we wear hand full of glass bangles.
    1. In scientific, Baby in womb will hear things outside from 20 weeks.
    If it starts to observe sound, it will good for its hearing habit.
    Some babies will move based on sounds.
    2. Then the sound will remain the pregnancy ladies about the positive Thoughts.

    3. There is one more myth, if we have bad eye sights, That will affect bangles. So that bangles will broke.


    I do all works with hand full of bangles till my delivery. My Bangles were removed at hospital only. When i needs to check my baby movements if i don't feel for minutes, I just shake my hands near my stomach. Immediately i felt him.

    So try to wear bangles as much as possible, It is good for baby.
