Sathyabama Catering’s Delightful Valaikappu Function Menu

Valaikappu, also known as seemantham in Tamil, is a cherished tradition celebrating the expectant mother in her 7th or 9th month of pregnancy. It’s a time of joy and anticipation, marked by the exchange of seervarisai (gifts) and the bangle ceremony, where loved ones adorn the mother-to-be with bangles, santhanam, and kungumam. As part of this celebration, a special menu is prepared, featuring an array of delectable dishes aimed at nourishing and delighting the expectant mother.

At Sathyabama Catering, we take pride in curating menus that blend tradition with innovation. For a recent Valaikappu catering in madurai, we crafted a diverse and scrumptious spread, ensuring that every dish was a culinary journey in itself.
