Once again, Onam and RIg veda Avaniavattam is coinciding on 23rd August 2010. In the olden days, all the members of the family (male) would go for group avaniavattam. There will be children with kalla(doubious)poonals. It was a gathering of Brahmins. After the ceremony, the younger ones will prostrate before the elders. It was a meeting point. Today, nuclear families, and residence in far away places, make you change your poonal, wear a new one and discard the old one. Thoughts of childhood,flashback.
