When it comes to decoration, first item we choose is flowers.
In temples , God is also decorated with colorful flowers and garlands.
There are cases i have observed with the goddess that decorations are made with fruits and vegetables during the season when their prices come down.
I had seen in some amman temples during the month of aadi, goddess is decorated with glass bangles. I had not observed or heard in my home town about this. So thought this is something happening in Chennai alone.
But when i saw in news paper this year, I could see this is happening in amman temple of all south Tamilnadu region.
Below is a picture showing such decoration made of glass bangles.
Like flowers, these bangles are offered to the god by people before the decoration day. Later the bangles are then distributed to people who visit the temple.
Though there are many varieties of bangles available in market, glass bangles deserve a special place. Still question peeps in.
When there are lot of women accessories, what could be the special reason for choosing the bangles for decoration?? Could it be because it is affordable and available in market easily like the flowers ? then why the month aadi is selected for it instead of all time?
