NIKASI
Before the baraat leaves the home of the groom, there are certain rituals that need to be followed. This is collectively called Nikasi. The mare (ghodi), which the groom would ride is caparisoned and the priest performs a puja. The mother then feeds her son a mixture of Moong (a type of lentil), rice, sugar and ghee from a small cup with a spoon. Also the ghodi is given a saree and all the married women of the family with male children are also gifted sarees.

The groom’s family has to carry a decorated ceremonial umbrella, a sword, 2 floor cushions, garlands and paan to the wedding venue as per the Marwari tradition.

The groom leads a procession of his friends and relatives to the venue. The baraatis often dance and sing .
