[*Aadi Masam/ Ashaada Maasa is a traditionally imposed month long separation practiced in many communities of Rainfed parts of South India towards July. Sending away the new bride to her native was a way of caring when there was strenuous sowing work during monsoon in groom’s house. This tradition has stayed on though the farm-based families have significantly reduced, unlike the past.]
