Kurponn (to go with 'Mandd'). 'Kurponnem' is made up of bamboo and the 'mandd' is made up of wood, both round and about same size (MANDD is slightly wider than KURPONNEM
Kurponn-Mandd used for straining rice cooked in a earthen pot.
The pot mouth is covered with Kurponn-Mandd and placed on 'Kottumbo' in an slanting angle with pot mouth facing downward.
'kotumbo' = Another rectangular 4 legged wooden stand (pic flic.kr/p/6UNuBu )
In between the four legs, another earthen vessel called 'kodem' is placed.
All the water from the rice/pot drains into this kodem.
The rice water so collected is called 'dhonn' or 'ducra khann or hann'
'Dhonn' is food or drink for the pigs (mixed with 'Kunddo' (paddy husk), 'Pendd(i)' a byproduct of dry coconut after extracting oil from it.(coconut cake?) along with any leftover or discarded food items.
kurponnem still in use in certain parts of Goa (2018)

kurpond or kurponnem
When we were young, we were told that there was a lady (servant?) who did not know to pray at all. All she said was 'Mandd Kuponn-Mand' repeatedly as her prayer. And she became a Saint.
Our Teacher at high school too remnided us of this.
This could be a true story or just another legend.
Anybody else remember this story or legend?
