The Baraat
JANUARY 31, 2024
Get ready to witness the groom's grand entrance, also known as the vara yatra or baraat, depending on where you are! It's not just an arrival; it's a joyous celebration that'll have you splitting your sides with laughter.
As the guests roll in, we're not just talking about casual mingling. Oh no! It's like the ultimate sorting hat moment – guests are sorted into Team Bride or Team Groom. The bride's squad gets the VIP treatment, whisked away to a secret meeting place, while the groom's gang gears up for a 'mini parade' that's more epic than your favorite blockbuster.
Forget the boring hall entrance – the groom's guests are in for a redirect straight to the 'mini parade' route. Picture this: live music, dancing, and a vibe that screams party time. And that's not all – there's a special rice toss, the akshat, to welcome everyone. The groom gets the spotlight with a lit lamp (or arati) and a garland. It's like a rockstar's grand entrance, complete with a tilak – a forehead dot that seals the deal.
So, get ready to groove with the groom's party, because this is not your average entrance – it's a celebration on steroids! 🎉
