[Tamil] - Kayiru

Why.. What?
All the things that we refer to as “I have been practicing this since ages” started at some point. Just because a practice has been in existence for long, does not mean that it is right. It is important to understand the reasoning behind any practice. Is it a bit confusing?
Many of us have a practice of applying turmeric to door frames in our houses. This is a custom that has been in practice for a long time. The reason behind this practice is that since turmeric has anti-bacterial properties, this helps support the health of the residents in the house. But now in many houses, the door frames are painted yellow. Obviously, this does not offer any health benefits. This is the reason why we need to question and understand the reason behind any practice.
