Wedding Series: Mappilai and Ponnu


For the Hindu Malaysian Indians, the wedding couple are called Mappilai (groom) and Ponnu (bride) in Tamil. 

The bride is wearing a silk yellow saree that features mandala patterns on the blouse and saree. Couples must wear auspicious colours. While red is usually the preferred colour, it is not a must. Yellow often comes a close second favourite amongst the elders as it is considered an auspicious colour. 

The bride is wearing a patakam jewellery and bagles. Generally, they also wear extensive head decorations but It’s been painted under my reimagined human series and hence there’s no head ornaments or hair. 

The groom is wearing a Jippa/ Kurta that usually matches a colour on the bride’s saree. The kurta usually features embroidery. He would also be wearing a Veshti/ dhoti on the bottom half.
