Thirukulam is a Grand wedding invitation that opens on a pair of carved temple doors, with wisps of smoke drifting before them. As guests scroll, the doors swing back over a painted temple tank, and the invitation arrives card by card under a festoon of mango leaves, marigolds, jasmine and brass bells, with teal and crimson silk drapes at the corners: a heading with a kalasam, your names with your degrees and work and a five-flame diya between them, your functions, the elders whose blessings it carries, and a closing card with a countdown and the dates. That last card holds the RSVP, Add to Calendar, the location and an RSVP on WhatsApp.

Questions about Thirukulam

What happens if a guest does not scroll?
On the live invitation, five seconds after the last touch the page starts moving by itself: the doors open, the cards follow at reading pace, and any touch hands control straight back.
Is Thirukulam only for Hindu weddings?
Yes. It opens temple doors over a temple tank, so it is offered for Hindu weddings only, and like the page it was drawn from it plays no background music.
