Significado
Celebrating the date of marriage.
Contexto cultural
Wedding anniversaries are often celebrated with a family 'Sadhya' (feast on a banana leaf). It is a time for the extended family to gather. In the Gulf countries (UAE, Qatar, etc.), Malayalis celebrate anniversaries with large community gatherings and cake-cutting ceremonies in social clubs. Many Christian families hold a special 'Thanksgiving Mass' (Qurbana) in the church to mark significant anniversaries like the 25th or 50th. Surprise parties and professional photo shoots ('Anniversary Shoots') are becoming extremely popular among young couples in cities like Kochi.
Add 'Ashamsakal'
Always remember that 'Vivaha Varshikam' is just the noun. To wish someone, you must add 'Ashamsakal'.
Spelling of Varshikam
Be careful with the 'sh' sound; it is the retroflex 'ഷ' (sha), not the dental 'ശ' (sha).
