The jaan arrival is the welcoming of the groom by the bride’s family when he arrives at the wedding place. Traditionally, this element of the Hindu wedding ceremony heralded the groom’s arrival into the bride’s village.
Baraat
The groom travels to the wedding ceremony with his family and friends. This procession is known as the baraat and the people with the groom are called the baraatis.
Transportation and Music
Traditionally, the groom arrived seated on a white horse or in a decorated horse and carriage. A rented car is an accepted modern substitute. The procession is often accompanied by a band and lively music, with the baraatis dancing along the way.
Fireworks
Fireworks are often set off when the baraat arrives at the wedding location. It caps the joyful celebration.
Safa
The groom and the other male members of the wedding party each wear a safa, a turban made from a single strip of colorful cloth. It is considered the most essential element of the groom’s wedding attire.
