Badaga marriage halls in ooty
THAI mae thalaiga thatti kai yoda aatta paatta. Sothu pathu neetha endhu kaathundhu endhe dha, matha hegu dha, madhuvaya matha hegudha,KOODALU thinguvana koodile singarene ,ĪALAANI thinguvatha aa aagi varasha mamma ,ĪANI huttidha mele badhila hegine baa mamma ,AADHIRE jena nodi bae thumbi maathaadu ,ĪAVANI thinguvadhoge dhaavani singarava ,Īrattu perattu aara PERATTASI thinguvadha,DODDA DIVIGEYA dodda kiru edhega , Muthu muthu mookathiga sokki hodhane, netti niddane Keppu na huttile ondhuna notta thaThatti beetha sileyu nee edhega, The lyrics of the song go like this :-Kappu huttileyu neppuna sundari, All the 12 Badaga months starting with Koodalu are beautifully integrated within the song. The more I listen to the song ' Kappu Uttileyu', the more fascinated I become.
In a recent judgment the National Green Tribunal has ruled that Marriage Hall rules should be site-specific.But currently YBA is run by office bearers who are card-holding party members. Wedding halls are forbidden for use by political parties.With the result, marriage events pose a severe problem to the police and public to manage traffic on the Wenlock Road. But the area available in YBA is very much in shortage. The law requires one parking space for every 20 square metres of marriage hall area.The conduct of marriages have been a major noise and health hazard to the students and the school. While Marriage halls are required to be away at least 100metres from educational institutions, YBA is right next to Heritage School.
Thereby, not only violating the original objective of the Association but also violating the government rules governing functioning of Marriage Halls. However, over the years the building has been converted into a Marriage Hall. As a good will gesture the government granted land to put up a building on Wenlock Road on a no-profit basis to serve the community needs. The Young Badaga Association was started in 1960 for the welfare of the Badaga Community.
