00:00 Reception Ceremony On arrival of the marriage procession relatives of the bride greet the procession warmly and is announced by blowing a conch shell. The fathers of the bride and the groom exchange mala symbolising the solemnisation of the relationship with a promise of a life-long friendship. The groom's sister has to carry bride out to the place where vyoog has been prepared and where the groom is made to stand. The eldest female member of the family or the bride's mother performs puja with lamps made of wheat flour and feeds nabad to the bride and the groom and kisses them on the forehead. Two rice pots are given away to the poor. The couple is led by the family purohit to the door. He performs a small ceremony here called dwar pooja before leading them to the lagan mandap. The wedding ceremony (Lagan) The purohit performs the rituals in front of a sacred fire. For the first time the groom and the bride see each other through the images formed in the mirror. This is a custom which is still prevailing. After the groom and the bride see each other they are made to hold hands of each other in a firm grip not to get loosened with the passage of time. The groom holds the left hand of the bride with his right hand and same is being done by the bride. Their hands are covered with a cloth. This in Kashmiri is called Athwas. According to Kashmiri folklore, the first to be able to pull out the engagement ring of the other will be the one to play a dominating role in the relationship. A mananmal, golden thread, is tied to their foreheads. The left foot of the bride and groom are placed on a kajwat or grinding stone. The first phera or round around the sacred fire is made by stepping on rupee notes, putting always her right foot forward and at the end of the walk is being received by the groom's father. There are a total of seven pheras. The wedding ceremony is followed by a vegetarian dinner with rice. The bride and groom are made to eat from the same plate. Posh Puza At the end of the ritual of marriage, saptapadi etc. the bride and the groom are made to sit in a comfortable posture. A red cloth is placed on their heads, and then all the people around offer them flowers (posh) in accompaniment of Veda mantras. This is called worshipping the couple with flowers. The rationale behind this custom is that the couple is considered to be Shiva and Parvati and the two are duly worshipped. First there are mantras for the bride and the groom separately followed by those meant for the two jointly. We are of the view that marriage is a spiritual union between a boy and a girl and they have to live this life of Artha (wealth) and Kama (desires) with due regard to Dharma (righteousness) and aspire for Moksha (emancipation). The four together are called Purusharthas. That is why the newly-weds are treated as Shiva and Parvati and worshipped as such at the time of the Posh Puza. The newly-weds must stand on the vyoog while the eldest female member of the bride's family offers them nabad thrice and kisses them on the forehead. As the bride leaves her parent's house, she throws a fistful of raw rice over her shoulder in the direction of that house. This symbolises that prosperity may continue to remain in the home the bride leaves. The bride carries some more rice in her other hand which is scattered at the doorstep of her new home. This symbolises that she brings prosperity to her new home. Her relatives and friends bid her good-bye as she sets off for her new home. Welcoming the newly-weds The couple must stand on a specially created vyoog and have nabad, offered by the groom's eldest aunt or mother. She kisses them on the forehead. The mananmal tied on the forehead of the couple are exchanged. The aunt leads them to the kitchen where they must sit on the mud stove. The waza serves them food and the groom's sister feeds them. After the meal, the bride is now made to change into a new sari and jewellery given by her in-laws. Ataharu, which consists of several strands of gold/ silver tassels are strung below the dejaharu which she is already wearing, signifying that she is now a married lady.
