Badaga Blessings

Let us seek the blessings of Elders, 'Doddavakka Harichili'

One of the wonderful and deeply meaning ful customs of Badagas, is the seeking of the blessings of elders. That is, whenever any person meets/visits an elder, he or she seeks the blessings of the elderly person [elderly does not mean aged/old but only elder by age] by bowing the head and requesting "Harachu (bless me)". If any headgear like cap/turban is worn, the same is removed. Also, on social occasions, like when the'earmarked'/ selected devotees proceed towards the Hethay mane or at certain festivals the village elders bless the others who prostrate in front of them. Similarly, when the newly weds seek the blessings - 'adda bubbadhu', these blessings are given, though at times, it is a shorter version that is used
