Dear Yamini Suresh :
After I sent you the note on Sumangali PrArthanai ,
I came across the note on the subject posted by me 
five years ago .
It talks about Pooja to Nithya Sumanglais and MahA Sumangails 
and those Sumangalis , who passed away and seeking their 
anugraham prior to an auspicious function .
This is purely a loukeeka ceremony with no manthrams .
MahA Lakshmi Pooja with MahA Lakshmi AshtOttharam
and Sahasra Naamam can be doen by an elder Sumangali 
as a part of the Sumangali PrArTanA .   
I would suggest the recitation of SrI Sthuthi , Sri GuNa Rathna
Kosam , which is a salutation by Swamy ParAsara Bhattar 
on Sri RanganAyaki ( Text and Meanings available at http://www.malolan.net) ,
SrI Sthavam by Swamy KurEsar ( www.sadagopan.org)and Swamy AlawanthAr's 
ChatusslOki . Those will enrich the occasion .
Songs on MahA Lakshmi can also be added as a part of the occasion .
It is afterall a prayer to the Most Merciful MahA Lakshmi ,
the Nithya and MahA Sumangali .
