In some castes they do it for "boys" as well calling it as "panchelu" function. if there is a boy and girl with no big age gap they club and do panchelu and vonilu function. actually when the girl attains that they do it quietly at home, but for many of them "showing off their nagalu and properties in that function is more IMP" anipinchindi after attending couple of those and seeing the lavish sets, decorations, gifts etc., Two words all ladies love to hear or see "50% Discount" | ||

It is our tradition. There is nothing wrong about it, it is a celebration of woman reaching puberty. | ||

are people confused? "vonilu" and "pedha manishi avatam" are different things.. "vonilu" function has to be done before "pedha manishi". ikkada cheppina stories anni (to let people know and find matches) okappudu chesevalu.. ippudu evaru cheyatalehdu.. only people are doing is "vonilu" function. As some one said earlier that they are doing at age of 10 that is becuase change in life style girls are getting into puberty earlier now a days. They cannot do vonilu function if that happens.. | ||

asalu ee tradition venaka vunna original reason clubbed with scientific proofs vadilesi janalu only "show off" meeda concentrate cheyyatam valana ido pedda issue ayindi. actually when girl attains age they make her sit for a while with full rest, feed her with items that will be good for health that time. Finally at the end call some older muttaiduvulu to tell her some health tips and other knowledge on how to handle "mrugaLLu" etc., that too it's very low key function and exclusive for ladies only. ila cheyyatam anedi tradition. anything beyond this is showoff and DB janata can kindal it..

Is puberty ceremony an embarrassing event? - Part 1! By kenni on October 18, 2006 9:02 AM Bookmark and Share I read these two statements in one of the blogs recently hence thought would put some light on the subject, & also make some people understand few things they are ignorant about - in spite of being well educated. âTo this day, there exist educated girls' families who will announce to the whole world that she's attained puberty; create and celebrate her embarrassment.â & âTo this day, there exist educated girls' parents who won't let the girl touch household stuff or other people during her monthly cycle. And make her sleep on the floor during that time.â But then saw the age of the blogger â just 24 â hence thought his ignorance is completely justified. Just because you can write few software codes, just because you can hack into someone elseâs computer and just because you make 4 times the money your grand father made â doesnât mean you become more intelligent than our ancestors. Still in the age of computers â we drink water & not 250 KBPS broadband Internet connectivity and we still eat rice & not Compact Discs. âCelebrate her embarrassment?â Natureâs blessing to have made a woman capable of becoming a mother is an embarrassment? Scientifically if a woman doesnât attain puberty â she cannot conceive, and she can never have kids. I have seen a family going through hell when the girl in their family didnât attain her puberty till the age of 18. They ran from one doctor to another, injected many medicines, spent loads of money and only then she could have her periods! There was celebration after she finally attained it. Meaning â she was ready to get married and become a mother. If nature does it, we call it embarrassment, when a doctor induces it we call it an achievement? I get many woman clients who have sadness written on their face because they donât have kids even after years of marriage. And the main reason for the delay is â they donât get periods on time. Women with irregular menstrual cycle are prone to various health problems & also become obese in nature. So from now kindly donât call womanâs puberty a thing of embarrassment, if our motherâs hadnât had it on time â we would have never born! Now the second part â In South India when a girl attains her puberty or has her first menstruation, the parents call upon all the relatives, and the people around their vicinity to celebrate the function. It always used to be a public function, so that everyone could see the girl. There were basically two important reasons why they did this â *One because everyone should come to understand that the girl is no more a kid, but capable of getting married. Hence from now treat her like a woman and not a child. When everyone in the vicinity knew about her, the chances of the girl being exploited by men reduced a lot. *Secondly to announce that she is ready for marriage and capable of becoming a mother. Hence if anyone was interested can approach their family with a marriage proposal â things became easier that way. There is/was no need or necessity to put your picture on the Internet and see yourself morphed into a nude picture later! Nature doesnât abide to governmentâs rules. Government approves 18 years to vote and 21 to get married. Funny â a person can decide about the nation when 18, and can decide about his/her life only at 21? Governmentâs moves were not to help people, but were to reduce the population and increase the vote bank. And the docs huh! They think they are the ones who create & save human lives. They claim a woman is not physically or mentally fit to get married young. Nonsense. In that case my grandmother could have never had 13 children and lived till the age of 70 with one husband (She was married at the age of 14). And when it comes to mental fitness - people should not be going in for divorce when they get married after the age of 21! Divorce are more these days than few decades back - why is that? Have we stopped growing with age? And here is another beautiful concept, which never existed in the North. Though the scriptures (Bhagwatgeeta) has a mention about it. Maternal uncle (motherâs brother) always had a major part to play in a niece or nephewâs life. On the day of puberty ceremony the maternal uncle is called to tie walls of coconut leaves around the girl (called Olai in Tamizh). (Similar to how tying Rakhee (raksha bandhan) is a symbolic representation of protection of women by their brothers in North India) In fact it is still believed that the maternal uncle has more rights on his niece or nephew than her/his parents. The wall is symbolic to show that â *the maternal uncle becomes a protector of her niece from now (not necessarily get married to her) *if she marries someone else and becomes a widow later, the maternal uncle can remarry her and give her social security *if the girlâs parents die, the maternal uncle becomes solely responsible for the girl. He can either get her married to the guy of her own choice or if she agrees can marry him itself *if by chance the maternal uncle is in love with the girl, and the girl is in love with someone else â then the guy should win over the maternal uncle through power or some competition Earlier physical power was an important criterion to get married to a pretty & rich girl. Sita got married to Ram, only after Ram proved his power by breaking the bow of Shiva. Not that it has changed now. With time â the physical power has been transformed into money. So today women prefer men who have more money or the capability to make more money. Money is another form of power. Another question is why should a maternal uncle have so much right on his nephew or niece. Astrologically too the lives of maternal uncle and niece/nephew is closely linked. With the birth of niece or nephew the maternal uncle gets substantial lift or drop in his life, depending upon the horoscope of the child born. The Bhagwat Geeta Part An invisible voice told Raja Kamsa that his 8th nephew will bring bad luck to him. Hence he killed all the 6 kids that were born to her sister Devaki, while the 7th (Durga) flew off warning Kamsa about Krishnaâs birth and survival. Kamsa could not kill Krishna, and it was Krishna who came back after he grew up to put an end to Raja Kamsa. This is a perfect example about how you cannot change your destiny even after knowing it, and also how maternal uncle and nephewâs lives are interlinked! (When I was writing this particular blog, I got a call from one of my best friends (a North Indian), and when I told him about the topic of my blog, he laughed his ass off. He said, how can you even think about celebrating a puberty ceremony? This is what I call ignorance. An intelligent person always comments after analyzing a situation and not from the face of it. That way even I could laugh my ass off â by saying how can looking at Moon through a chalna (that rava, maida filter) increase husbandâs life span, when these North Indian ladies perform Kadwa Chauth? But I wonât laugh â because I have not yet analyzed that). Ramzan mein 'Ram' Hote hai.... Aur Diwali mein 'Ali'.... | ||

when you say age old practice you should also know that earlier marriages where done before a girl attains her puberty. In those days a married girl before puberty would live with her parents and when she attains her puberty her parents would celebrate the moment with pomp and send her to her in-laws. Now marriages are happening in 20s so but people are celebrating. కోటిపల్లికి దారడిగి కొండపల్లికి వెళ్తున్నావేమిటి? ...మనసు మార్చుకున్నాను! DTS "The digital experience" | ||

50 years ago, there are no matrimonial web sites. Only thing available are messages from near and dear. Until that age, kids play together. Those days, parents never educated kids about the upcoming changes in their body. Kids are not involved in Adult Talks. To compensate for all these, they used to have this function, which provided several uses. 1. The kid gets to be treated as an adult. 2. she can participate in the adult talks. 3. Other kids (boy) will stay away 4. relatives can start looking for alliances.. and last but not least, an occasion to get together. Old days lo ee rojullo laagaa vurake get togethers vundevi kaadu kadaa.. The needed to have an occasion to get together. As part of it, it used to give some rest to the kid and give special food that helped adjust their body to the new changes. (Joggery, Sesame seeds, etc etc). Is it required today? absolutely not. | ||
