The songs given hereunder are very famous in the marriages of Hindus in the southern part of India and are sung at various stages of the marriage. The context when they are to be sung is mentioned against each song. There are many songs that used to be sung in different households in variations but in common all the house holds use the following songs only: kshEmangaL kOri gaurI kalyANam/sItA kalyANam nIrADina SrI rAmA mAlai sAththinAL manmadhanukku mAlai dhanthi mukhanukku/lAli lAli/pAlAlE kAl alambhi rathna Unjalil kannUnjal ADi sankari Unjal ADinAL Anandham Anandham Besides the above, there are a few more songs that are also heard in some households. Those are: vajra vaiDUriyaththil/vindhai niRai ezhiluDaiya rAghavanE In many households, nowadays, they do not give importance to Nalangu thinking that it is irrelevant as the boys and girls are sociable and do not need the rituals to give them the electrifying effect of the senses as in those days. However, some still feel that it is a sort of get together to fill the atmosphere with happiness. The following songs are commonly heard here: nalangiDa vArum rAjA nalangiDukiRAL mInalOchani nalangiDa vEgamE vArum DArling cheNDADinArE bhOjanam cheyya After the Nalangu is over, both the newly wedded couple is asked to sit side by side and HArathi is taken. During that time the following is sung: pavana jana sthuthi pAthra, SrI rAmachandhranukku (or) mangaLam nandhagOpa You can hear some of these songs at http://www.musicindiaonline.com/music/carnatic_vocal/s/artist.116/ Let us now proceed with the lyrics, ragams, taLams and the context when the above songs are sung: 01. kshEmangaL kOri - gaurI kalyANam/sItA-LakshmI kalyANam/sObhAnE kOTi manmatha/nIrADina SrI rAmA Before beginning any auspicious ritual, it is customary to sing gaurI kalyANam. It is also sung while taking HArathi or carrying the cosmetics to the bridegroom or the bride. The introductory part beginning kshEmangaL kOri is sung only at the time of placing a few drops of oil on the head of the bridegroom/bride by his/her mother before he/she takes oil bath on the day of the marriage, followed by gaurI kalyANam. Serious Shaivists sing only gaurI kalyANam while serious Vaishavaites sing "sItA/lakshmI kalyANam". It is also seen that in some households they sing sObhAnE .... kOTi manmatha at the time of applying oil on the heads of the bridegroom and the bride." Sometimes while taking HArathi, SrI rAmachandhranukku or pavana jana sthuthi pAthra. For fun sake in some households they replace the name of "gaurI/siTA/lakshmI/jAnaki" substituting the bride's name and bridegroom's name in place of "sankaran/srIrAman."

The bride is brought before him and both exchange the garlands thrice. In those days when both were very young they were carried by the maternal uncles on their shoulders but nowadays the custom is still followed and one should watch the predicament of the poor uncles, struggling to carry or hold the bride and the bridegrooms especially if they are bulky. nOTe tune (SankarAbharaNam)

They are given plantain fruit bits with milk by the mothers of both and a few nearest relatives (ladies) on both sides. The ladies also place a few drops of milk on their feet and wipe them with their silk saris as if they are washing their feet with milk.

The first song given below is sung at that time. Then the ladies sprinkle water around the couple while carrying a lamp duly lit and protected from getting extinguished as well as a brass measure. The second and the third songs are sung at this time. During this time the couple slowly moves the swing with their feet. Some people replace "uththami" with the name of the bride's mother for fun sake: Anandhabhairavi

Anandham Anandham/mAngalyam thariththAr/indhak kaDal/ezhiluDaiya rAghavanE Immediately after the bridegroom ties the tAli around the neck of the bride, everyone is relieved of the anxiety and there prevails an atmosphere of happiness. For portraying this situation, the first two songs are sung. The other two songs are also sung in some households and are termed as "ODam". (Here one thing is to be remembered by one and all. The marriage muhoortham is not for tying the tAli but for pANigrahaNam i.e., the legal right to hold the bride's hand by bridegroom after the due manthrams are recited so that he vedically becomes her husband. Till he completes the ritual of pANigrahaNam none has the right to touch the hand of the bride or the bridegroom by way of congratulating as it would mean that they become husbands or wives first before the bride or the bridegroom respectively become so. Hence please congratulate after the pANigrahaNam is over and not after the tying of tAli.) maNirangu Anandham Anandham AnandhamE (2) paramAnandham Anandham AnandhamE SundarEsar maNamagan AnArE - namma MInAkshi maNamagaL AnALE SrIrAmanum maNamagan AnArE – namma jAnaki maNamagaL AnALE vandhavarkkum pArthavarkkum AnandhamE (2) SItaikkum rAmanukkum AnandhaME nAm seyda pUjA palan inRE paliththadhammA (Anandham)

The songs may be irrelevant in the modern world but they give a lot of thrill and enjoyment and keep the atmosphere lively.

Similarly, the bridegroom and the bride were also mocked at through special songs. No offence was meant. Nowadays, these are not followed as the parties get offended. Two such songs are Sambandi sAppiDavE mATTAL and mAppiLLai samartharaDi which are given below. Mambalam sisters have rendered the first one beautifully that can be downloaded from http://www.sangeethapriya.org while Bombay sisters have rendered the other. SrI
