Engagement, or SakharPuda, is generally conducted in presence of friends & family. Literally, SakharPuda means a packet of sugar (Sakhar– sugar, Puda – packet). Groom's mother applies Turmeric & Vermillion to bride & gives her a sari, into which bride is supposed to change. Then groom's mother does Oti Bharane (a blouse piece, rice, & coconut) & gives Sakharpuda -a cone shaped decorative parcel filled with pedhe. This means groom's side has to give their word to bride's side that they have fixed the alliance. Similarly, to give their consent in return, bride's mother invites groom, his parents & siblings. After this ceremony, the couple exchanges the ring. A similar process is repeated by bride. Guests are given pedhe, some refreshments or a full meal. This ceremony signifies agreement of alliance witnessed by many people.
