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.
