A close-knit community steeped in tradition
framed rules and customs of fascination
be the one of the gifts to daughters
being a strange practice and a little wonder
establishes a link with the mother’s family
found in the form of gifts during festivals really
while the parents extend it with affection truly
the brothers later go about with a duty effectively
the next generation thinks it a trouble strictly
depending on the longevity of life inadvertently
the custom continues without a break
mainly during Deepavali, Pongal and other stakes
an amount is fixed from the time of her marriage
rendered without a break till the end of her age
a token of love could we abbreviate it exactly
the Nagarathar community sticks to it religiously.
