What should be given in Thambulam

Thambulam should be given to married women. Normally people give Thambulam when we have done puja at our home. To give Thambulam to muthyaidulu(married women), first we need to invite them to our house.
Its like calling Lord lakshmi to our house. Thambulam should contain the following items -

1. Blouse piece (mainly bright colours like red, marron, green, orange, saffron, purple)
2. Any two fruits.
3. Thamalapakulu
4. vakka/ crane packet
5. pasupu +kumkuma packet
6. flowers

Some are optional based on the puja you did -
7. 1 or 2 rupees coin.
8. bangles.
9. nalla pusalu
10. dry coconut (endu kobbari)
11.one Endu kajuram.(dry dates).

How to treat Muthaidhulu-
1. Ask them to sit, then put pasupu to their legs. (it can be optional).
2. Put ghandham to neck, kumkum as bottu, ask them to take pasupu to put to their Mangala sutralu.
3. Give Akshinthalu (rice + pasupu mixed) to them, ask them to bless you by putting those Akshinthalu on you.( tell them what to bless also :) like - Dheerga sumangali bava, santhana prapthirasthu, gruha prapthirasthu, Arogya masthu etc according to your wish).
4. Then give Thambulum.
5. After that serve them with prasadhams ( whatever you made for puja).
