Chakkandala Chukka
Kalyani Mallik | Sunitha • From “Kalyana Vaibhogame”
Lakshmi Bhupala compares the bride’s arrival to the sacred rivers Kaveri and Godavari. Bhupala then states that life is the bond where two people born separately become one. This transforms the personal event into a cosmic one by using nature’s imagery.
Shatamaanam BhavathiMay you be blessed for a hundred years.
