Hi all,

Where can I learn more about Tamil Thali types. I recently came to know that there is a custom of both (bride's and groom's) sides providing one of the pendants of the Thali. What is the signifcance of the different shapes, the bottu for example?

Best wishes,
Sujata

Thanks. I searched, but I didn't find  what I was looking for. There's some vague info, but I am trying to find the meaning of the pendants and the historic origin of them. For e.g. pottu thali, I couldn't find what it represents.  I read that pottu thali is used by Naidus, also that some people share the thali (i.e. that the bride's side provides one of the pendants and the groom's side provides the other).  There's nothing much in wikipedia and any of the other sites I landed on. It would also be interesting to learn when exactly these customs started. 

Best,
Sujata

Thank you so much. Do you have the images of these type of thali pendants. It was nice to read about widow remarriage among vanniyars, that's awesome!

  • ஒற்றைத்தாலி

  • தாலி மாத்திரமுள்ள கழுத்தணி   What would be the pendant in this this?
Thanks
Best,
Sujata

Hi all,
Anybody knows about (I read wikipedia already) wore Tiger tooth/Claw haali as mangala sutra (பெண் கழுத்தில் திருமண நாளில் கட்டப்படும் இரண்டு புலி நகம்/புலிப்பல் கொண்ட தாலி). One family custom in Jaffna - they are big landlords.

Best wishes,
Anu

Hi, 
Thanks for sharing, just wondering what these represent. Why puli pal? why aamai in the aamai thali, etc.

Best,
Suji

I don't have anything in images. If you have contact with jewellery shops or jewellery making persons. May have answers for your question! Please move further, it may give some interested results. Or you may become key point of all type of thali image gallery. That's in ur hand.
