Hi, For my son's poonal,we are planning to give away ladoo and murukku in thambulam pie instead of coconut. My parents will be making seer bakshanam. Under whose kanakku will come the tambula bakshanam? Will my parents have to do that too along with the seer(display)bakshanam?
Seer Bakshanam, 31 or so and Laddu 31 alone have to be given by parents. If you have more people to distribute, the parents of the child have to spend out of their pocket to get extra murukkus and laddus. Normally seer bakshanam is given to the first circle of relatives. For other guests,the parents arrange extra either from the same person, or through the cooking contractor, Now adays the caterers charge rs 60/ per one murukku and laddu neatly packed in a card board box with the caterer's address'phone no printed on it.

The ladies who give bikshai arisi will be given a laddu and 5-vari murukku. This is separate from the seer bakshanam.
