PULA OR RELIGEOUS MURNING FOR THE DEAD

PULA OR RELIGEOUS MURNING FOR THE DEAD
W observe pula for ten days before pindam on the eleventh day. During this period, orthodox people do not take cooked food. Instead, they fill their belly, with puffed rice, grated coconut kernel, tender coconuts etc.
They are not touched by others. When my mother died, we did not observe such thing. We were staying with my mousie(chitta) at Trichur .

They are enlightened people. We believe that, when the person breaths his last, everything is over. Pindam, pula etc, are redudndant
