The lyrics highlight auspicious wedding customs such as applying nalangu, singing joyous folk chants (kummaalam), adorning the bride with flowers, and showering holy rice grains (atchathai). The song expresses deep blessings for the couple's long and happy life together. Throughout the song, poetic imagery elevates the couple's union by comparing them to ideal legendary pairs like Thiruvalluvar-Vasugi and Rama-Sita. The groom praises the bride's grace, comparing her beauty to classical sculptures and artwork admired by ancient kings.
