If you can not trace that paramparai from discussion with the elders in your family , You can choose one AchArya paramparai , receive pancha SamskArams from the Jeeyar and get initiated into that paramaprai. Sumangali PrArthanai is in essence offering worship to a Sumanagali or Sumnagalis ( Presentation of Pudavai, Ravikkai ThuNdu ,Kumkumam , ThAmbhUlam and BhOjanam). The MahA and nithya Sumangali , the object of worship in Sumnagali prArthanai is none other than our ThAyAr , MahA lakshmi.
