Dear SrI KrishNaswamy :
Pavithram ( Dharbai or Gold or Silver)
has to be worn on the ring finger , Right
hand .In our hands , thumb represents Vaayu
,
Indes finger , the Sky , Middle , the element of
Fire , the Ring finger , the appu or Water and
the small finger , Pruthvee tattvam .
The significance of Water is celebrated
in Mantra Pushpam and Udhaka Saanthi
Mantrams . That is the significance
of
the Ring Finger for wearing Pavithram
.
Once the cleansing arising from
the observance of Vaidhika Karma
by one wearing Pavithram made of
Kusa grass is over , the pavithram has to be
discarded . During Achamaneeyam time ,
it has to be held over the right ear .
Please refer to additional details at:
For Vaidhika KarmAs ,
Only Pavithram
made of Dharbham is to be used .Gold
Pavithram with just a Thousand year history going back to Taantric worship in
Kerala
has no place in Vaidhika KarmAs
.
In Kerala , the goldsmith makes
these Pavithram rings with 3 lines
representing
the three Naadis ( Ida , Pingala and Sushumna)
,
the knot ( Trimoorthys in their
tradition)
and the 7 dots on both sides of the
knot
represnting the Saptha rishis ( Mareechee
,
Vasishta , Ankeeras , Athri , Pulasthya
,
Pulakan and Krithi) . The pattern is
copied
by Tamil Naadu Jewelers now . Ladies
also
use them now as a jewelery . Although the
ladies
wear them as Jewelery , they are expected to
remove
it during their Bahishtai time . The Goldsmith
who
makes it has to observe certain
niyamams
duringthe time of making these gold pavithrams
.
Gold Pavithram can be worn on the hand of the
male
at all times since it has no Vaidhika
significance and
sanctifying power like Kusaa grass pavithram
.
Please ask a local Bruhaspathi to demonstrate
how to make a Pavithram from the Dharbham
.
