Dear Srimathi Yamini Suresh :

Sumangali PrArthana is a prayer to Sumangalis 
by Sumangalis  prior to an auspicious celebration 
and Vaidhika Karma and especially an event with
special relationship to Ladies ( Pumsavanam , 
SeemanthOnnayanam and VivAham) . It is carried out by 
a Sumangali , the ( woman) head of the household.
A few sumangalis are invited ( mostly realtives) ,
dheepa Poojai is done , Sarees and blouse bits ( Ravikkai)
are presented with ThAmboolam and Manjal (Turmeric) .
The invited Sumangalis and girls/ladies are served special
lunch with payasam , Vadai et al . Elder sumangalis are extended 
NamskaraNams and their benedictions (aaseervAdhams :
dheerga Sumangali Bhava) are sought prior to their 
departure home . It is more or less a ladies' day .

The customs vary at individual houeholds .
Others are requested to share their family experinces.  

V.Sadagopan
