Post Wedding Bengali Rituals

Here is provided information on post-wedding Bengali rituals:

It is a ceremony in which the newly weds are given a warm welcome in the bride’s house. Also, they are served delicious dinner.

On the next morning after wedding, the groom applies vermilion on his wife’s forehead. Thereafter, the newly wedded couple visits the mandap, where they worship the Sun God. The purohit is also present at this time.

In this ceremony, the newly weds, after seeking the elder’s blessings, leave for their home.

Bou Baran ritual is performed to give a warm welcome to the newly weds in the groom’s house. The female members of the house pour water under the vehicle when the couple boards it. The groom's elder brother's wife takes a plate containing lac dye and milk and places it under the bride's feet. After the feet of the bride get imprinted on the floor of the house, her sister-in-law takes her into her new house. The elders of the house shower blessings on the newly wedded couple.

In the Bou Bhat ceremony, the bride eats her first meal in her husband’s house. Usually, the groom’s father hosts a reception party in the evening.
