Subject: Re: [Oppiliappan] Maangalya DhaaraNam â part -6

Srimathi Jayasree Saranathan is doing a great service. The perspective study about the importance of thAli from the historical and other angles is really informative.
In the North India, Hindu women do not appear to have thaali unlike their South Indian counterparts. They don't even wear kumkum at the point between the eye-brows. But married women put kumkum  at the point of the beginning of 'negidu' from which others come to know they are married. This practice is universally present among the Hindus in the North. 
It appears that some indication is necessary to indentify a married woman distinct from un-married ones. While in the South it is Thaali, it is this kumkum at the top of the face in the North.
