We can collate details of samskaras and other religious practices of the the three major communities under Tamil Brahmins viz. Smarthas (ashtasahasram, brahacharanam, vadama, vathima and others), Vaishnavas (both Thengalai & Vadagalai practices).
Dvaitins (Madhwas) living in Tamil Nadu speak either Kannada or Marathi and they too can be included.
It is also noticed that some Andhra Smarthas too have registered in this portal and are keen to know the samskaras.
This could be long exercise, but is worth undertaking in larger interest.
LIFCO, if I remember right has published small booklet on ceremonies.
Also within each community practices differ across districts in some case.
All are welcome to give their valuable inputs. Female folks are expected to participate actively.
Skirmishes may arise now and then, but they have to subsumed to the larger objective.
With regards to all,
Swami
