GUJARATI WEDDING

A Gujarati wedding is fun-filled and amusing. The rituals try to facilitate a comfortable feeling between the couple and their respective in-laws. The main event is the ‘Hastha Milap’ during which the bride’s sari is knotted with the bridegroom’s scarf and both go around the ‘pheras’ or the holy fire seven times.

The Gujju Touch: Women have prime importance in the Gujarati tradition. The mother-in-law welcomes her son-in-law by playfully pinching his nose.
