Hinduism has various traditions about marriage. One of the most popular practices is Kelvan. Currently, the reels on bananas from social media and daily series are going viral. Do you know the colorful history of the same banana?

Children who have recently been married are invited to dinner. On the banana leaf, the pentagon is drawn around the leaf. All of this is called Kelvan according to general information. But just inviting meals is not a banana. In fact, Kelvana has many years of history. The root of banana practice is found in the days of Saint Dnyaneshwar Maharaj. In the past, it is said that only the girl was banned. The reason for this is that once the girl went to Sasha, her relationship with Maher's relatives would be very low. The emphasis on it was that there was no means of communication in the past. That is why there was no such situation when the mother -in -law's Lake was constantly coming. Maher's relatives used to ban her to make her ditch.

On the occasion of this banana, the girl who went to the mother -in -law was honored with a saree as a gift of Maher. Rangoli was removed around the banana leaf. The girl had to cook her favorite and cook her choice. Dnyaneshwar Maharaj is the OV of this ban.

Na tari tari kalvali navaari |
Kan Sannyasi Jiapari |
That is not to die without so much.
Death ||

This ovi of Dnyaneshwar Maharaj means that after the banana, the bride -to -be accepted his old life and accepts his new life, as well as the monk starts traveling on the path of enlightenment. In this sense, a person who renounces temptation, ego, and consciousness while in life, is as if he is self -reliant before death. It is not just an invitation to the meal, but it is a passionate ceremony of Dnyaneshwar Maharaj that it is an emotional ceremony of joying.

In the Marathi family, the practice of banana is celebrated with joy. After marriage, the bride or groom's marriage will begin and this is a practice of greeting them for the next move. Family, relatives, and neighbors all come together on the occasion of banana. This increases social intimacy and affection. This is the true purpose of this practice.
