and it is finally decided that they are of equal value. The bridal pair then enter the room, in which the avireni pots are kept, and throw their rings into one of the pots which is full of water. The bridegroom has to pick out therefrom, at three dips, his own ring, and his brother-in-law that of the bride. The purohit sprinkles water over the heads of the pair, and their wrist-threads (kankanam) are removed. They then sit in a swing on the pandal for a short time, and the ceremonies conclude with the customary waving of coloured water (arati) and distribution of betel. During the marriage ceremony, Razu women are not allowed to sit in the pandal. The wives of the more well-to-do members of the community remain gosha within their houses, and, strictly speaking, a woman should not see her husband during the daytime. Many of the women, however, go freely about the town during the day, and go to the wells to fetch water for domestic purposes. The Razus of Rajapalaiyam have Razu as the agnomen, and, like other Telugu classes, take the gotra for the first name, e.g., Yaraguntala Mudduswami Razu, Gottimukkala Krishna Razu. The women adhere with tenacity to the old forms of Telugu jewelry. The Razus, in some villages, seem to object to the construction of a pial in front of their houses. The pial, or raised platform, is the lounging place by day, where visitors are received. The Razus, as has been already stated, claim to be Kshatriyas, so other castes should not sit in their presence. If pials were constructed, such people might sit thereon, and so commit a breach of etiquette. In the Madras Census Report, 1901, Rajamakan is given as a Tamil synonym for Razu, and Razu is returned as a title of the Bagata fishermen of Vizagapatam. Razu is, further, a general name of the Bhatrazus. Reddi.--See Kapu. Reddi Bhumi (Reddi earth).--A sub-division of Mala, Mangala, and Tsakala. Rela (fig. Ficus, sp.).--A gotra of Medara.
