Have you seen shapes made out of vegetables and fruits in marriage halls?

Wonderful answer Vathsala30. I really enjoyed reading it. I never knew about the name of it. Thanks for the information. Because of this discussion, I learnt a new word.

carving the vegetables into desired shapes is vegetable carving

Marriage comes once in a life time. Hence people save money for that grand occasion and spend lavishly. Any way few lakhs are being spent for the occasion. They think why not few more thousands more? Let the invitees eat to their heart's content and go happily, this is what they think. If your economical condition does not allow to spend that much, then there is no hard and fast rule to spend so much. It is ok. It is individual's capacity and willingness. I wish God gives more money to you through online trading and you too spend much for your son's marriage.

Yes Sukumar794, it is a pleasure to see them.

Carvings in coconut is the exclusive art of Bangalore. Sugar syrup many make. I too ordered for these things for my daughter's marriage and her inlaws also have given her. It adds extra beauty to the marriage celebration. Thanks friend for sharing your view.

You are right. It is a lovely creative art which is admired by one and all.

In India it has become common in all marriages. How beautifully the artisans carve the shapes is something to be seen and enjoyed. The shapes are of different nature like Lord Ganesha (God), chair, musical instruments, animals, birds oh! I cannot list it out. You call it they will carve it with vegetables and fruits.

Very true.

I am happy you observed my absence. We have ugadi next month as we celebrate Tamil New Years Day. When children were small, I was celebrating Telugu/Kannada Ugadi too as I do not want them to miss a festival when other children are celebrating it in their house. But now some children married and gone out and my strength also got reduced and no one to eat so many itmes, hence I did not celebrate Telugu ugadi this time. You are an Agricultural Officer. Naturally you will have interest in seeing vegetable and fruit decorations. I always feel you are a good and sincere officer commanding high respect and name in your field.

I am a bit busy now. Went out with my son. Some electrical work went on at home. I am happy you noticed my absence. Thank you. Agriculture graduate means you know much about vegetables and plants. You will have a country cousin feeling with plants, crops etc. Then naturally you will like these sort of decorations. Have a great day umadper.

Oh! The ice statue is so cool. Also the boy and girl standing like a statue is also rare in a marriage. I saw this statue like standing in VGP Golden Beach in Chennai.
