Weddings are undoubtedly a great affair in India. Just like we have three different seasons in India we have another one called the Wedding season. It’s the period when people usually choose to get married or tie the knot. It is usually the months between May to October. Due to India’s vast diversity, we get to see all kinds of Weddings here with different rituals and cultures.

We have the Maharashtrian style of wedding where the Haldi ceremony is of great importance, we have the Christian style of wedding that takes place in the church, we have the Sikh style of wedding that takes place in a Gurdwara. We then also have the Hindu style of wedding that takes place in a temple.

In this article, we are specifically going to talk about the Bengali style of wedding. Now in what style do Bengalis get married? A Bengali wedding is usually more than a week-long affair where there are almost 9 wedding rituals along with 10 or more pre and post-wedding rituals. The Saant Pank ( seven walks ) is one of the many interesting rituals in a Bengali Wedding. This is a ritual where the bride is made to sit on a ‘Piri’ and is then lifted by her brothers after which she takes seven rounds around her husband while she sits on it.

The bride usually is dressed in a red Banarasi saree while the groom is dressed in a dhoti kurta. The bride also wears a ‘Shola Ghar’ on her head during the Wedding. A Shola Ghar or a mukut is something that the bride wears on the head that symbolizes purity and is believed to bring in good luck. It is a part of the accessories that she wears for her wedding. It is usually white.
