Supriya Horse Carrier Thane West Mumbai

Baraat is important event in marriage procession. It is customary for the bridegroom to travel to the bride's house on a horse, accompanied by his family members. This often becomes a huge procession, with its own band, dancers, and budget. The groom and his horse are covered in finery and do not usually take part in the dancing and singing; that is left to the "baraatis" or people accompanying the procession. The term "baraati" is also used to describe any invitee from the groom's side. Traditionally, baraatis are pampered extensively by the bride's family. The baraat headed by a display of fireworks, accompanied by the rhythm of the dholak or melam, reaches the meeting point, where the elders of both the families meet and welcome the groom with garlands and aarati. The traditional Indian wedding establishes a bond between two families and their cultures, apart from creating a very special relationship between the couple, who tie the nuptial knot. Baraat is a series of colorful events, spread over two to three days.
