Vairamuthu writes about the ‘mangalyam’ sacred thread, a symbol of marriage and lifelong commitment. The poet mentions the act of tying the thread around the bride’s neck, wishing her a century of joy. The phrase ‘Forever a smile, an endless smile’ highlights the eternal happiness of the union.

Mangalyam Thandhunane Mama Jeevana HethunaThis is the ‘mangalyam’ sacred thread, the source of my life.
