Jat marriage rituals

Jat marriage rituals are traditional ceremonies emphasizing community, tradition, and family bonds. The process begins with engagement or "sagan," involving blessings and agreements. On the wedding day, rituals include the "Kanyadan" (giving the bride away), "Phere" (circling the sacred fire), and the exchange of garlands ("Jaimala"). The bride and groom may participate in customs like applying henna ("Mehndi") and rituals to invoke blessings for prosperity and harmony. Post-wedding, rituals like "Vidaai" mark the bride's departure from her parental home. These ceremonies are rooted in cultural heritage, emphasizing loyalty, unity, and familial respect.
