Mainly performed at the place of the wedding, rituals like aashirvaad or blessings are important post wedding customs, where the Brahmin blesses the bride and groom, after the completion of the marriage ceremony. The guests, who attend the wedding ceremony, shower flower petals and rice on the bride and groom as blessings. Vidaai ceremony is the farewell that the bride bids to her family and friends, before leaving for her husband's place. Pilucinchuanu is a ritual, which concludes the wedding ceremony. Herein, the priest places a coconut in front of the car and waits for it to be broken by the wheel of the car, as the newly wedded couple heads for the temple to take the blessing. These are some of the rituals, which sum up the post wedding functions.
