The traditional Bengali wedding has various one of a kind, bright ceremonies, separating it from different locales the nation over. Sprinkling rice husk and trefoil plant on the bride’s head is considered auspicious and is part of a pre-wedding ritual called Ashirwad. A touch of gold gems is traded in certain weddings and nowadays couples additionally trade rings during this casual service.
The haldi ceremony in the northern weddings is called Holud in Bengali Hindu weddings. Seven wedded ladies of the more distant family pound the turmeric themselves and afterwards apply it to the bride and groom (occurs on the two sides).This usually happens one day prior to the wedding day.
On the morning of the wedding, the seven wedded ladies make the lady of the hour don red and white bangles and feed her curd and rice. Generally this was the main feast of the day for the lady of the hour however nowadays not many ladies are quick for the entire day.
Maybe the best time and diverse custom of the Bengali wedding is the Saat Pak where the lady of the hour is situated on a wooden board, called pidi, and lifted by her siblings and taken around the man of the hour multiple times!
The lady shrouds her face behind paan leaves and just glances at the man of the hour once the Saat Pak service is done. This act is called Shubho Drishti… when the bride and groom are allowed to exchange a loving glance in public, marking society’s acceptance of their union.
