Valaikappu: A Deeply Rooted Tradition

Valaikappu, often called the "Bangle Ceremony," is an integral part of South Indian culture. It is usually held during the seventh month of pregnancy and marks the transition of a woman into motherhood. The term "Valaikappu" itself means "bangle" and signifies the adorning of the expectant mother with a new set of bangles, usually green glass bangles, which are believed to have a protective and soothing effect during this stage of pregnancy.

In this ritual, women gather to bless and celebrate the expectant mother. It's a day filled with love, laughter, and traditions passed down through generations. The significance lies not only in the adornment of bangles but also in the prayers and well-wishes offered to ensure a safe pregnancy and the health of both the mother and child.
