| Video Discription | Finally the waiting is over to indulge in all the delicious sweets, pickles, chutneys, fresh fruits and berries in the trees as the New Year Is Finally Here! Our most joyous childhood period was the new year(Avurudhu) season. It was a cherished and a memorable seasonal joy where we kids got brand new clothes, many varieties of yum sweets and delicacies in abundance, and all our relatives gathered in one house. The whole house is busy getting ready for Avurudhu and over and over again Those sweet childhood memories started to come into my mind in this Avurudhu season where the air is filled with sweet fragrance of oil cake(kavum), kokis(rice flour crispies) and ripe banana combs are smiling in the kitchen. The entire nature get dressed to welcome the oncoming new year with Erabadu flower trees in the edges of the fence are clad in deep tomato red Erabadu flowers and the cuckoo bird singing his sweet seasonal song and the Avurudhu sweets fragrances are flowing in the air, the rice pounding sound of the village mill, and the left over hay bundles that are stacked in the empty paddy fields, all says the same beautiful story of the arrival of the new year! Me and grandmother finished off those tasks but making oil cake(Kavum) was the most time consumable task! Since the rice flour was prepared very early, we were be able to fry the oil cakes by afternoon! Frying oil cake is a very delicate and an attentive task as one should concentrate for every tiny detail! The poured flour batter will be splashed with very hot oil, while a pointed skewer will be inserted into the middle. Then while splashing the oil into the middle, the skewer will be lifted slowly taking the uncooked flour batter out to form a hill shape. As I mentioned that it is complicated, the most difficult part is to splash hot oil while rotating the wooden skewer which will form a “konde”(shape of Knotted women's hair) or the top part of the Kavum! Once fried thoroughly, stored in an airtight container, this sweet can be preserved for about two weeks! I removed the burnt out cinder and clean the fire wood hearth and applied a new coating of clay to the hearth before I left for the temple for non auspicious time duration. Even the brother together with grandmother had erected a new lamp cell to invite the festival God(Avurudhu kumaraya). I finished lots of work this time as the non auspicious time duration was fallen during the night time. Our traditional new year dawned on the following day! Every task for that day is been done as per a auspicious time. The first auspicious tradition is to light a new fire in the the renewed new stove and too cook a pot of milk rice. Usually the rice is been used from the new rice harvest that was reaped before the new year! Some make a new hearth and boil a pot of milk. Mainly because boiling milk is a sign of prosperity. It is a very significant custom where the whole nation (about 20 M people) cooks their first new year meal at one auspicious time! Grandmother never allow us to give anything from home or take anything into the house during the non auspicious time. No task will start before taking a pot of pure water from the well. In exchange I put a pouch called “Ale”containing spices, and a coin to the well before taking a bucket of water. Brother started his first official task by planting a mango plant which was actually an act of exchange with the Mother Earth. Since the Dawn of the new year and all the other rituals that follows with auspicious times are greeted by lighting of crackers, amidst the beats of tambourine (raban) and the ringing of the village temple bell. Traditional villagers believed that by making all these loud sounds made the whole village aware of the dawn of the new year and expected to get rid of the evil entities in the village. This time light green color is the auspicious color for the new year. The entire nation over 20 M people following the same rituals together is a very special and a significant sing which expects to bring prosperity and unity! Like every year this new year also our elder aunty and her daughter visited our home for this new year with gifts to grandmother and the traditional new year sweets. Grandmother lit the oil lamp of the Avurudhu table and fed a mouth full of milk rice to everyone as she is the oldest of our family elders. Our brother whacked two plates full of new year sweets and got a loving comment from the elder aunty for his food power as well. Love you All!
