It is wedding day, you know, my lady.
He is coming in a horse-chariot
You see there. Male and female cranes
are searching pray in the seashore. Their young are calling its mother. The father-bird
feeds small fish into its mouth. It is day-time.
This is our small village with the shadow
of the tree PUNNAI Park. The flowers dropped, are spreading all over the shore.
Waves are lashing the flowers. Small fishes are also moving along with the
waves. They are prey to cranes.
(This is the natural decoration to the
wedding stage.)
He is wearing flower garland in his
neck. (It is bride-groom march to bride’s house, where the wedding ceremony has
to be performed in those days.)
It is wedding day, you know, my lady.
