Dear Sampath Kumaran:
I have been faced with this situation quite a few times. My mother has told me that it is customary to use "korai pul,"
i.e. hard and long grass in place of dharba grass if the latter is not available. The dharba grass takes the form of seat and so long as the other grass is not really coarse, it should be alright. We find it in our backyard and it fits the bill. I have made five to six inch long pieces out of these and tied them up with the grass itself and used them in place of bugnams. A special gold ring made of gold wires woven together, given to me by my brother-in-law, is sufficient to substitute for the grass to be taken in the finger. I believe that the tharpanam done with earnest spirit with proper substitution will be accepted by our forefathers.

While visiting US from India, many of us come well
equipped with Dharbai - bugnam. But at times we find
short of the same and are not able to get it from know
circles or temples.
Can any of the learned scholars enlighten whether
tarpanam can be done with "Ellu" without Dharbai.
