Following the Indian traditional ritual, the wedding of the two was fixed through an ‘arrange marriage’ for January 14. It was on the auspicious day of Makar Sankranti which is considered Shubh for weddings.
A grand procession was arranged for the exceptional marriage ceremony, complete with the battering of ‘dhols’ and the garlanding of both the married couple. Tommy was also groomed as a bridegroom and applied ‘Tilak’ by participants from Jelly’s family. Then came Tommy’s ‘baraat’ ceremonies, with most of the ‘baraatis’ passionately twirling to dhol sounds.
Following this, the auspicious garlands were exchanged by both the bride and groom. Towards the end, vidaai rituals were also performed by the bride’s family.
