Dear bhAgavatas, Once, I had a debate with my sanskrit master on the shape of Urdhva- pundram (he is a vadakalai) - he argued that nAsikA-mUlam is the part between the two eyebrows and Urdva-pundram's lower tip should touch nAsika-mUlam according to Agams. Thenkalai version of extending it below to the nose is hence wrong. I disagreed saying that nAsika- mUlam may mean lower tip, but he didn't agree. Can anyone provide references for our version of Urdhva-pundram & the justifications of it? Dear mohan, here is a silly suggestion - can you tell someone to apply it for you?

Though I wear them some times, I am not good at that. I mean, the oordhwa pundram (Tenkalai style) doesn't come out well some times especially Tiruman i.e it is not straight, broken lines, etc.. I use silver stick to draw the same. Can you tell me if there is a better way of drawing it or is there any better tool or some such thing to draw it. > > Thanks & Regards > Mohan.R > > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
