Want Money? Host A Dinner
Some customs are meant to help people in distress.
Men living in Tribal Societies formulated some customs to help the needy.
As the society develops, it seems, man has become more greedy and starts misusing these noble concepts.
One such Custom being practiced in the Districts of Coimbatore, Erode, borders of Pudukkottai and Thanjavur,Tamil Nadu is 'Moy Virundhu'
That is organizing a Free Dinner for the villagers by those who are in need of money.
The reason could be for celebrating the marriage of a Girl in the Family, Debts or simply the need for additional finance for Business.
The Rules are:
One should be really in need of Money.
They should organize a Feast for the villagers this could be for 100 to 500 people.
Prospective attendees are to be invited personally.
One can put up a poster, Bill Boards even.
The Dinner should consist of minimum six dishes and must include Non Vegetarian, especially Lamb,Chicken.
At the Dinner those who attend the Dinner must donate money they can afford and this will be recorded by the host.
There are instances when 40 to 60 tables are put up to collect money.
