Who performs it
Your pandit
Purohit
Narayan Iyer
He completed his Veda adhyayana at a patashala in Kumbakonam and has served Madurai families as a purohitar for thirty years, most of that time working the marriage and sanskar calendar of one extended neighbourhood around the East Chithirai Street. He follows the Bodhayana sutra as his household does, and says so at the start of a booking, because a family from an Apastamba household will want the ordering adjusted. He learned Malayalam during eleven seasons of Onam-time bookings in Palakkad and now takes work from Kerala families as readily as Tamil ones. His English is plain and he uses it to explain, not to chant.
