Ceremony II: Chunni, Sagan & Ring Ceremony
On 16th Nov, it was three ceremonies rolled into one function.... but at least a dozen rituals involved...
The groom's side visited ours for the chunni ceremony, proclaiming the bride to be theirs. The bride's head is covered with a dupatta, and she is given things symbolising a married woman- bindi, bangles, sindoor (vermilion) and some cosmetics.
Then was the sagan ceremony where the bride's family gives the groom some customary gifts. Also, asking him to drink a glass of hot milk, topped with dry fruit. It takes a lot of courage to drink the whole thing.
And, then comes the Ring Ceremony. We exchanged the rings, proclaiming the official engagement!
Not to miss the monetary gifts given to the bride n groom for each ceremony (that's the best part... we get rich just by sitting there!)
