Marwari Wedding
Wedding Rituals
The Rajput Baraat
A Rajput baraat consists entirely of male members. The bridegroom is usually dressed in a gold achkan, with an orange turban and a churidar or jodhpurs with jootis. The baraat members also must wear achkans or sherwanis with jodhpurs and safas (colourful turbans). The procession to the bride's house looks rather regal as there is absolutely no dancing on the streets by the baraatis. In fact, all members, including the groom who rides an elephant or a horse, carry swords. The horse is important for the Rajputs.
Wedding Ceremony
The groom is taken inside to the ladies section where he is received by the bride's mother with the traditional aarti, and then taken to the mandap for the wedding ceremony. The bridegroom is accompanied at this stage by only one married male relative and maybe his younger brother or a younger male cousin.
The wedding ceremony is similar to a Hindu wedding. The bride must at all times through the wedding ceremony keep her face covered by a long veil.
While the wedding is in progress, the baraat is entertained outside by the bride's male family members. Therefore, it is mostly the women members of the bride's family who attend the wedding ceremony.
Bidai
At the time of the bidai, a coconut is placed under the wheel of the car before the bride lifts her veil for the husband after the wedding is an important ceremony. At this stage, the groom usually gives a piece of jewellery to his bride.
Post-wedding Rituals
Grihapravesh
Once the baraat returns with the newly weds, the grihapravesh takes place. The bride still wears the veil while the puja and other ceremonies take place.
Pagelagni
The day following the grihapravesh, the pagelagni takes place. This is a ceremony where the bride, still in veil, is formally introduced to all the family members of the groom who bless her and give her gifts. The veil is then finally removed.
