In a typical Malayali wedding, former Union Minister Shashi Tharoor tied nuptial knots with Sunanda Pushkar at the ancestral home of the bridegroom at Elavanchery village near Palakkad on Sunday.
Mr. Tharoor, a former U.N. Under Secretary General and now a member of the Parliament, tied the ‘thali’, symbolising the marital bond as per the Hindu custom, amid accompaniment of percussion and windpipe orchestra ‘nadaswaram’ at the auspicious moment shortly before 8.30 a.m.
While Mr. Throor was clad in traditional Malayali atire of Kurtha and mundu, Ms. Sunanda, who hails from Kashmir, turned up with off-white ‘veshti-mundu set’, like any Malayali bride would have preferred on her wedding.
Before the wedding ceremony, the would-be couple sought the blessings of elders of the family, who included Mr. Tharoor’s 94-year-old maternal grandmother Jayasankari Amma.
The tying of ‘tali’ was followed by exchange of floral garlands and handing over the ‘pudava’, a piece of new cloth to the bride by the bridegroom. The ceremonies took place before a lighted brass metal lamp ’nilavilakku’ with a ‘para’ filled with paddy and coconut shoots, symbolising plenty and prosperity.
The invitation to the wedding on the eve of ‘Thiruvonam’ was limited to close relatives, friends and well-wishers. But, a large number of media persons gathered to cover the occasion.
