నగుబాట్ల పెళ్ళికి నాడే నాగవల్లి

This expression refers to something that has lost its value, freshness, or relevance after its primary purpose is served. In Telugu weddings, Nagavalli is a significant ritual; once it is over, the decorations and offerings (Nirmalyam) are considered spent or discarded. It is used to describe people who are no longer in power or objects that are now useless.

This expression is used sarcastically to describe something that was bound to fail or break from the very beginning. It highlights that instead of being upset when a flawed situation finally collapses, one should be surprised it lasted as long as it did. In the context of a wedding, Nagavalli is one of the final ceremonies, so the phrase implies that something destined for ruin early on miraculously survived until the end.

This expression refers to finding faults or showing resentment even after a grand celebration or a positive event. It originates from the 'Nagavalli' ceremony (the concluding part of a traditional five-day Hindu wedding) where, despite the elaborate arrangements, some relatives or guests inevitably find trivial reasons to complain or act offended.

This expression is used to describe a state of utter exhaustion or a disheveled appearance after completing a long, tiring, or chaotic task.

This expression refers to finding faults or making complaints during the 'Nagavalli' ceremony (a concluding wedding ritual).

This expression is used to describe petty, unnecessary, or fabricated complaints and grievances raised during the final stages of an event, similar to how relatives often find faults or express dissatisfaction during the 'Nagavalli' ritual of a traditional wedding even when everything has gone well.

This proverb is used to describe a situation that is poorly planned, failing, or being rushed to completion to avoid further humiliation. 'Nagavalli' is usually a ritual performed on the fourth or fifth day of a traditional Telugu wedding; performing it on the first day signifies a desperate attempt to wrap up a failing or shameful event quickly.

This expression is used to describe someone who expects immediate results or wants to complete a task instantly without considering the necessary time, preparation, or logical sequence. It mocks the impatience of wanting complex things to happen as soon as they are mentioned.
