What is Barat Swagat?
Barat Swagat also known as “milni” is a beautiful tradition in which the bride’s family welcomes the groom’s family and their relatives. Barat Swagat consists of the following rituals and customs:
● Tie the groom’s sehra/veil to the cloth turban.
● This is followed by all the baraatis wearing matching turbans.
● The groom then rides a horse or a vehicle to journey to the bride’s house or the wedding area.
● After the groom and his family reach the wedding venue,
the bride’s mother applies a tilak and performs an arti to welcome him and the guests. Apart from these, you will come across many other customs that differ from state to state.
