Very good topic and I would like the "modern" ladies to read this and give it a thought. Undoubtedly, a noticeable thaali gets instant respect for the one wearing it by most of the men.

Thiru Lathaji - Thanking you very much for posting the well Researched Article of Mr K.V.Ramakrishna Rao in this Thread, which provides an indepth study on "Thaali" and it's significance, as it was applicable in Tamil Nadu - from ancient times.

I want to ask why some thaalikodis (like my Amma's) has two coins...what are the significance of those coins?

I may be wrong, but I think these gold coins are added to give "weight" to the thaali.
