Barat
8:30 am - 9:30 am
Dress Code: Your very best Indian Attire
Pre-Groom’s Arrival Ritual (Varghodo): The Varghodo is a lively and meaningful tradition that begins with the groom’s sister performing a ritual to ward off evil spirits—circling his head with a bowl of money. This gesture not only offers protection but also celebrates the special bond between siblings and reminds the groom to always cherish his sister. Wedding Procession (Baraat): Following this, the groom and his family join in a joyful procession to the wedding venue—known as the Baraat. Accompanied by vibrant music and dancing, this celebration marks the groom’s journey toward his new chapter. Welcoming the Groom: Upon arrival, the groom and his family are warmly welcomed with sweets and gifts. In a lighthearted ritual, the bride’s mother playfully tugs the groom’s nose—a fun reminder to approach this union with humility and grace.
