Saurath Sabha

Saurath Sabha is a traditional village assembly in parts of India, particularly Bihar, where members of the Maithil Brahmin community gather to select marriage matches. This organized event functions as a respectful and systematic process, helping families find compatible partners based on customs and familial preferences. It aims to promote social harmony, reduce conflicts, and preserve cultural values by ensuring that matches are made transparently and amicably within the community. The Sabha typically occurs annually in dedicated spaces and remains an important social institution for maintaining traditional matchmaking practices.
