Mavilai -Mango leaves at the entrance

Why we  put Mavilai thoranam?

Hinduism

We tie Mango Leaves(Thoranam) in the front entrance of the house. Why?

It is beleived that, Mahalakshmi resides in the front entrance (Nilaivasal), of every house. So whenever there is some Pooja or function or a festival, we tie Mango leaves thoranam, Maavilai Thoranam (மாவிலை தோரணம் ). Mango leaves are regarded to be highly auspicious.

In every house, Vak Devatha also resides. This Vak Devatha says Thathasthu to each and every sensitive words we say. If you bless others with good words, it will says Thathasthu means, let it happen. But these Vak Devathas also bless when you say words in anger or in a bad mood. (It is always better to speak good and sweet words). 

But still, if due to some issues, if you happen to tell some words against any one, and if there is a Maavilai Thoranam hung in the front entrance, the breeze that flows through it negativates those words. 

This is the speciality of Maavilai Thoranam.
