Though Indian wedding dress include saris, ghagra choli, but the most famous traditional dresses for Indian
bridal is lehnga choli which are heavily embroidered with thread. The lehnga with chunri or veil in a bright
red and multicolored tie and dye bandhini design is almost mandatory. The Rajasthanis use chunri to cover the
bridal bed on which the grooms sit for the tilak ceremony after the marriage and is
later used as a veil by the bride.
Among the people of Uttar Pradesh
lehnga is used for the gath bandhan (tying the knot) ceremony during the marriage rituals. The brides of Bihar, however,
are simply dressed in a new unstitched saffron or turmeric yellow sari but among the zamindars the sari undergoes
a transformation. During a special ceremony specialists of bandhini are
invited to make the chunri. |
