Want your wedding to be really fun do it the Indian way. Indian weddings are a gala affair of 3 days. The tying of nuptial knot in the traditional Bengali style entails an elaborate and long affair, with series of colorful and charming rituals. Since wedding is a significant occasion in one's life, the day is organized in one of the most elegant ways, which makes a Bengali wedding a very special one to look forward to. The rituals truly mesmerize the spectator and leave him/her with only one thought in mind - Bengali wedding is truly amazing!
Now go through the wedding customs and try to create a visual image of the celebration.
In the evening when the marriage procession of the groom (with ringing of bells, blowing of conch shells and ululation) arrives at the doorsteps of the bride’s residence, they are greeted with fresh flowers. An elderly female relative of the bride holds the welcome tray. The plate is first touched to the groom's forehead, then to the ground. Thereafter, it is touched back again to his forehead. The groom is then given sweets and sherbet. As the groom enters the bride’s house, rosewater is sprinkled on him. After the groom is welcomed by the bride's family, he is brought to the wedding spot. Meanwhile, the bride is carried to the mandap (wedding spot) in a piri (flat stool), accompanied by four of her friends.
Next the bride and the groom exchange flower garlands for three times, while the priest does the chanting.
Thereafter, the paternal or maternal uncle of the bride gives her away, which is known as 'sampradhan'(giving away).
The groom then puts vermilion on bride’s forehead and the wedding is concluded.
The next morning the bride goes to the grooms home and the groom’s family gives a warm welcome to her. That night is their first night together and so the nuptial bed is richly decorated with flowers.
The third day is called ‘Bou Bhat’ when in the morning the groom makes promise to take care of all the necessities of the bride and gives her gifts. The bride then serves rice to all the family members. Evening there is a reception party thrown by the groom’s family where all the bride’s friends and relatives are invited.
