Why families book it
Married and unmarried women keep vratham together; panditji unifies mantras so guests from North India feel included.
Vratham expresses devotion; it does not force reconciliation in troubled marriages. Fasting rules explained without pressure.
Bagina exchange needs table space for each married woman; turmeric footprints are planned on washable floors.
