Greeting!
In my previous Post I explained about 'Vara Pooje', one of the ceremonies that take place in South Indian weddings.
I thought of showing a dinner scene, showcasing the traditional South Indian meals, that are prepared during weddings and other auspicious occasions.....
'Food' plays an important role for any occasion. Hence I thought, including a dinner scene is very vital in this 'Wedding project'..........
India is highly diversified.... We have different food habits, culture, language and clothing in different parts of India. What I have showcased here is purely 'South Indian'. South Indians are rice eaters. Every thing here are eaten with the rice, except for the desserts and side dishes. I have shown, six kinds of desserts. Main course is eaten with rice, and side dishes are eaten like salad.
Every thing is prepared just before the ceremony. I have shown just one cook, but generally there will be many people to cook and serve the guests. Since, we invite more than 500 people for the wedding. Food will be served to each individual by the cook itself. The food is served on the 'Banana leaf'. The water will be served in stainless steel glasses.....
The food is served in three or four rounds. Three or four different main course will be served in each round and then the desserts and finally, we finish our meals with Curd (yogurt) rice.....
Also the food will be served in many batches since, the dining hall cannot accommodate every one at the same time. First the guests who are in a hurry to get back to their respective houses will have dinner, and then the first circle and the close family members of the 'Bride' and 'Groom', who will spend the night at the wedding hall will have their dinner.
The rest of the people will return the next day for the 'Wedding' and the 'Reception'.
The 'Menu' will change for the 'Wedding' and the 'Reception'. Everything will be prepared in the Wedding hall, fresh and hot, and just before the ceremony......
I had a lot of fun, making this miniature set.
Now I should get ready for the wedding!!!😉
Will be back soon..........
Revu!
