A kolam at the door
In a Tamil home the day begins with a kolam at the doorstep: rice-flour dots, joined into loops. This invitation begins the same way — a kolam drawn as guests scroll, with your names written at its heart.
Sent as a link, your kalyana pathirikai reaches the family in Madurai and the cousins in Singapore on the same evening, and opens on any phone.
The kasavu cloth, the brass uruli and the tall lamp are at home at a Kerala wedding too. The wedding page itself follows the Tamil rites: the thali, the toe ring and seven steps.
How Kolam opens
One lamp lit in the dark becomes two at your door, and a kolam is drawn as guests scroll, your names at its heart.
- 01
Light the lamp
A dark screen and an unlit brass lamp. One tap: a bell rings, the flame catches, a second lamp is lit from the first, and both fly to a doorway at dawn.
- 02
The kolam at the doorstep
Rice-flour dots, a chain of loops, a lotus above and below — drawn as guests scroll, with your names written at its heart.
- 03
The date under gold leaf
Guests scratch away Thanjavur-style gold leaf to find the day, and a bell rings when it lifts.
- 04
Every ceremony, painted
Turmeric spreading up the arm at the haldi, henna appearing motif by motif at the mehendi — with the groom's initial hidden in it — and the day's programme down a rail of small lamps.
- 05
Three knots
At the wedding guests scroll to tie the thali's three knots, under a shower of rice and petals; then the toe ring, and seven footprints with seven vows.
- 06
A lamp for every wish
Your photos pass in brass frames, a brass uruli of flowers counts the days, and every wish becomes a lamp on a night verandah.

Questions families ask
Does it suit a Kerala wedding?
The kasavu cloth, the brass uruli and the tall lamp are at home in Kerala. The wedding page follows the Tamil rites — the thali's three knots, the toe ring and seven steps — so watch it live and see if it fits your family's wedding.
Can we show the muhurtham?
Yes. Give the wedding its time and a note — "The thali is tied at 8:10 am; please be seated by 7:45" — and list the day's programme in order.
Can we add the Nichayathartham or the Nalangu?
Yes. Choose from Engagement, Haldi, Mehendi, Sangeet, Wedding and Reception, or add a ceremony of your own under your family's name for it.
Is the invitation in Tamil?
It is written in English, so every guest can read it. The WhatsApp message that carries each family's link begins with Vanakkam, and you can change its words.
What does it cost?
It is free to make and to try. You pay ₹1,999 once, when you send it — every ceremony and every family included.
