Does any Indologist know if there is TulAbhAra (the practice
of weighing coconut, jaggery, butter etc. against the devotee's
weight as the fulfillment of a vow) performed TRADITIONALLY in
any shrine besides GuruvAyUr and DharmasthaLa? I am not
interested in recent (within 40 years) copycats introduced into
other South Indian shrines. Obviously, this practice comes from
the KRShNa tulAbhAra done by RukmiNi in the BhAgavata. Thanks.
