Dear SrI Ramesh Babu,

Here is an article on 'grass' in general and 'darbham' in particular, written by SrI Sadagopan iyengar of coimbatore. (Attached)

A related piece of info from another article 'Knotty matters' by the same author, just as an info ...

Hope this helps ...

Quote:

A “pavitram” made of “darbham” (sacred grass) is to be worn on the ring-finger of the right hand as a prelude to the performance of any ritual, auspicous or otherwise. While the knotted pavitram is to be worn throughout the ritual (except during Achamanam), at the end of the same, we should remember to untie the knot of the pavitram which holds it in the shape of a ring. Failure to do so is irregular and requires atonement in the form of fasting. So before you cast off an used Pavitram, do remember to untie it.
