'The Bride'
The next in my series on 'A South Indian Wedding'. The bride is adorned in a silk saree which is 9 yards in length (a typical, normal saree is around 6 yards). The 9 yard saree is called a 'Madisaaru' and is a unique way of wearing the saree for the south indian brahmins. The bride also has a few big garlands that she wears to mark the auspiscious occassion. Other things include lots of jewellery, which include adornments on the head (thala saaman, nethi chutti etc). To top it all, the smile on the brides face sets the tone for the wedding, of joy and happiness. Look forward to the bridegroom and his attire, next in the series on 'A South Indian Wedding'.
