Kasi yaathrai, exchange of garlands, couples sitting on a decorated swing, nalangu are all fun parts along with rituals of the wedding. During these weddings,
Friends and relatives either sing all the existing songs with appropriate lyrics or compose a few songs with enthusiasm and perform. These days, music is given importance and sometimes choreographed and performed. Many songs are very famous in the marriages of Hindus in the southern part of India and are sung at various stages of the marriage
One such song is Maalai Maatrinaal which friends and relatives sing while the couple exchange their garlands. It is a joy to look at the coy looks on their faces. The song describes how elated Aandal (Kothai) feels when she exchanges garland with Ranganathar, the Lord Himself, with joy and full of love. No doubt all of us have our favourite wedding songs.
