Dear Fr.Mascarenhas, That was an interesting article on our Goan wedding customs, which till today are still being maintained/carried out by many families. Such customs do add more festivity and gaiety to the on-going marriage ceremony that will take place in a day or two. I missed out on your earlier articles I & II, and would appreciate your kindly forwarding them to me for my knowledge.
Thank you Bernadine. --- nascimen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > BHIKAREANCHEM JEVONN--THE BEGGARS' LUNCH. > > Before describing the beggars' lunch in Saligao let > me add a few words > on " Bhuim Jevon" which was served on plantain leaf( > keinbeacho khollo) > or "potraouli" or "potravoll"(made of jack-fruit > tree leaves and joined > by "vir" broom-sticks or coconut leaf sticks) to the > guests seated on > the floor in the "refeitorio"(dining hall) on a > large bamboo mat > (souiem).
