It is also one of the important ceremonies in one’s life and
it is a long process as well, in the Nepali society. First of all, when parents
decide their children to get married, they look for the perfect spouse for
their children. Usually a lami (mediator) brings a relation offer and if the
parents are satisfied with that, they will move a step ahead. After deciding on
a person, their horoscopes are matched. If they do not match, the relationship
shall not proceed and incase they match, a date is determined for the marriage
ceremony.
On the day of marriage, the jantis (groom party) come to the
bride’s house or the venue of marriage where the girl’s party welcomes them.
Three important aspects of marriage are: the swayamber (ring exchange
ceremony), kanyadaan (giving away the daughter’s hand), and putting the sindoor
and pote on the bride.
