India with such diverse cultural background showcases a variety of fun filled rituals and customs. And nowadays, with Hindi movies becoming so popular among everyone, people are even following some of the customs and rituals shown in the movies. Especially movies like 'Hum Apke Hain Koun', which showcases all the rituals associated with Indian weddings. Some of the customs that are a part of a traditional Indian wedding ceremony may be: 'Parsee saalis' takes gifts from their brother-in-law or 'jija' during the ritual of 'haath boravanu', where the groom puts his hands in water and cannot remove them until he pays money to them in Indian Weddings. 'Pag dhovanu' is another such ritual where the groom is threatened with milk on his shoes and 'chero chorvanu' is a ritual in which seven strands of thread tying the couple together are removed on payment. In Gujarati custom the groom's mother-in-law tries to catch his nose on arrival of the 'baraat', as a reminder of the fact that he is taking away their daughter and is now responsible for her happiness in Indian weddings. 'Aeki-Beki' is also a very fun-filled ritual among the Gujarati community. A tray or pot of water is mixed with milk and vermilion. A ring and a few coins are thrown into the mixture, and the bride and groom are given seven chances to fish out the ring.
The winner is considered as having a dominating personality and it is predicted amidst much laughter amongst close friends that he or she will rule the roost! In Punjabi custom the brides wear a 'chuda', which is a set of red and ivory bangles given to her by her maternal uncle. This custom is considered good women for the bride as it is said to bring good luck to her in her new home. Punjabi brides wear 'kaleeres'. These are silver or gold plated ornaments tied to the chudas. It is said that the bride has as many friends as there are leaves in the kaleere.
