Sourashtra Wedding Procedures
Sourashtrians follow the practices of the Vaishanvite cult for all the customs and rituals. The wedding rituals and customs are still followed by all members of the community.
The procedure is as follows.
- Nowra Nowri Seelariya
- Phool Function or Vida Paan Machulariya and Boulas
- Ghetti Kellariyo
- Muhurtu Ghallariyo
- Devgas
- Horad
Usually the nowra sits on a three–legged stool and ties the bottu (Thaali) around the nowri’s neck and they will be facing each other.
After the wedding, the nowra and nowri have food in their respective halls. This is the reason why most of the Sourashtrians rent two halls for the wedding.
