Lasts Three Days
In Indian Cities
Washington U.P.) Modern
brides who wail that "too much
fuss" is made by their mothers
at weddings might compare
themselves -with their Indian
sisters.
"In India the usual city wed
ding lasts there days," said Mrs.
Veena Vashi, an Indian woman
who is studying architecture and
social economic planning herp.
"The bride robed in a whie
sari, has small part in festivi
ties," said Mrs. Vashi. This is
the opposite of her American
counterpart who is the main at
traction. The first evening of the wed
ding ceremony, the bride usually
sits in one room, head modestly
lowered. Female relatives and
friends sit around her. w
"The groom arrives resplend
ent in robes. He is garlanded
with flowers and is on a horse.
Proceeding the groom are male
relatives and friends. And lead
ing the procession is a brass
band, to announce the arrival,"
he continued.
: The bridegroom is seated in
another room. Males and females
are separated.
: The bridal couple must wait
for an auspicious moment for
the actual wedding ceremony.
This "moment" is decided upon
by comparing the astrologies of
the couple. The stars decide at
exactly what second they will
be wed. This "auspicious mo
ment" might fall at 4 a.m., or
some other unhandy hour,
j The ceremony itself, is simple
and beautiful. It takes about 10
minutes for a Brahman (Hindu)
priest to unite the couple.
After the ceremony, a feast is

ready for the guests.
"The father who earns $60 a
month would spend about $500.
While the one who earns $500
a month would . spend about
$2,000," she said.
The second day the bride is
taken to the groom's home.
On, the third day, the groom
returns the bride to her parents'
home. He is welcomed as a new
son.

cluded," in the villages the wed
ding ceremonies last seven
days."
