Dear Devotee:
Men after marriage change from TattAdai ( Brahmachari Vesham)
to Pancha Kaccham , the approved dress code ( 10 by 6 ) for VaishNavAs
and other aasthikAs doing Vaidhika karmAs . In a similar manner ,
the saha dharma chAriNi( the wife) assisting in Vaidhika karmAs
shifts to wearing the nine instad of six yards colored saree and
wears ThirumaNN with Sri ChoorNam .
Many of the Vaidhika karamaas also invole Agni for offering
Havis . Loose flowing (moving) garments are a hazard for
pursuit of such activities . During the monthly asoucham ,
the married ladies in aasthika families stay outside of
the main living quarters and shift to wearing Saree as they
used to during their nonmarried days .
Nowadays , it is a different story in a life dominated by
City living .
When one goes to the temple and goes to visit AchAryan ,
then the usage of 9 yards for married ladies and Pancha Kaccham for
married men are required .
V.Sadagopan
