How to make Varalakshmi Nombu saradu
Traditional Varalakshmi Vratham Nombu saradu
Take a string long enough to tie around a wrist. Dip it in turmeric powder mixed in water. Tie nine knots for each saradu.For the central knot tie a flower or part of thazhampoo petal
Make at least five for five sumangalis including the person performing the Puja. Keep the saradu near Goddess Lakshmi in the mandapam.After the Puja ask another lady to tie on your right hand.
The husband can also tie the saradu..Keep betel leaves , areca nut and fruit in the right hand while the saradu is tied. The saradu can be removed and offered to the plants preferably Tulsi plant after a few days.
I retain the saradu till Navaratri
