Namaskaram!
I am a tamil brahmin. Vadamal, Tanjore. We are planning to do Sadabishekam for our parents this May. We are planning to do Rudraekadasi in our residence with 12 priests and inviting only our relatives and the kalyanam next day in the kalyana mandabam with all friends and relatives. I got lot of useful information from kgopalan's post dated 2011. I have a few doubts. Grateful if I could get reply for these.

- Do we have Nandhi event for sadabishekam? If so when do we do and how many priest required?
- In kgopalan post it is mentioned as 11 sombu and 1 kudam required and this could be used next day also. How many sombu and kudam we would require for kalyana day?
- We usually have the practice of doing mangali pondugal after patti devasam. This year we had it in Jan. Do we need do kalyana pondugal in May?
- What are the mandatory homams that we should perform during this function and which day we should perform which homam (ganapathy,
- navagraha, ayusha, mrithunja, natshatra....etc)?
