Horoscope Matching
Horoscope matching is given due consideration among Buddhists. After having matched the horoscopes of the prospective bride and groom, the boy's family, in consultation with the lama (priest), selects an auspicious day for putting forward the proposal for marriage.
Chessian Betrothal Ceremony
Chessian is the betrothal ceremony, in which the maternal uncle of the bride's parent is seated on a raised platform. The priest recites prayer and gives "madyan", a religious drink to everybody.
This is followed by the fixing of wedding date in consultation with the astrologer.
