On the day of the wedding he will start fasting from the morning and will not eat or drink any thing till the marriage ceremony is over. He will be given bath by the elders at an auspicious time. His ear ring wearing ceremony will take place and after that he will get dressed in his new clothes and along with his Best man ("Mappillai Tholan"), normally the bride's youngest brother. They will proceed to the Home's Pooja room. There both of them are worn with the Gold chain, Headgear (Thalaip pahai),and shoulder clothe (Uth thareyam) by the elders. Then he will proceed with the mappillai tholan to the wedding hall.
