In traditional Bengalee wedding,the bridegroom comes to the girl’s house to marry her.As the auspicious time approaches,4-5 male member’s of the bride family take her,seated on a low stool(piri), circling round the groom 7 times to symbolize that the bride and bridegroom are now winded up securely to each other.Finally,the bride and bridegroom come face to face and removing the 2 betel leaves covering her face all this while, make their first eye-contact, called Shubha Drishti.The two then exchange garlands,a ritual called Mala Badal

Debu! This is excellent photography, the bride has very beautiful eyes so full of mystery, a great explanation of the marriage service of different cultures, top marks for this one.

'Superlative & extremely Lovely {A++++} Bridal Portrait,' Debu~

Those earrings are really beautiful, as is the Bride~

I have some familiarity with Indian & Hindu traditions, because my sister married an Indian gentleman, & I have attended one of these 'elaborate Weddings'~

Ciao~ Peter Smile
