The groom is dressed in the traditional “Panchakatcham” veshti. He also
holds an umbrella, a fan, a walking stick, and a towel containing dhal
and rice tied to his shoulder. He then sets off on a mock pilgrimage to
pursue further religious studies, and renounce worldly pursuits. As he
steps out of the wedding hall, the bride's father intervenes and
advocates for the superiority of married life to an ascetic life. He
also promises to give his daughter as companion to face the challenges
of life. The groom accepts and returns to the mandapam to get married.
The umbrella is to remain with the groom, to remind him in the future of
this advice(.http://images.grabhouse.com/urbancocktail/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/tamil-brahm-wedding_shopzters.jpg)
