Weddings are special and Indian weddings are just a step better. Every religion has its own set of rituals for every occasion. This diversity is what makes our country the best blend of tradition and culture.
Weddings of every region and community differ, yet their rituals and traditions remain common. Bengali weddings are an elaborate blend of customs and rituals which serve as a treat to our eyes.
Though Bengali weddings are not luxurious they do demand precision in performing the rituals. Here we have done a detailed analysis of all the picturesque rituals and traditions of the Bengali wedding.
Pre-wedding rituals
Bengali wedding rituals begin a few months prior to the actual wedding date. Some rituals might have become obsolete today, yet, a few are rigorously followed.
There was a time when the families of the bride and the groom would meet at a place and fix the date for the auspicious occasion. The horoscope of the bride and groom would be matched and both the families would exchange gifts.

This ritual stands outdated today, the horoscope of the bride-groom is matched online and the date is communicated over the telephone.
