North Karnataka side Marriage function rituals

It's called "Halagamba" (tying a small thorn tree to wooden pole)

One has to bind tiny thorn tree to "Halgamba" on whom in-laws pour color

We had a good marriage season this time attending 3 marriages, which were of close relatives. It was nice to attend this kind of marriages, where in all marriages traditional rituals were the highlights. Truly it was an occasion to meet elders and distance relatives and get to know new people. All it was like a get together occasion.

Pleasure being part of those functions held before marriage day and on marriage day. There is a belief to follow and perform traditional rituals as they are auspicious. Also these traditional practices are regarded and followed because of their significance with respect to marriages. It’s good that these practices are kept alive at least through village side marriage functions.

After long time it was an opportunity to taste again North Karnataka marriage party’s foodstuff, where all favorite items were being served in all 3 marriage places.
