WEDDING SONGS OF KASHMIR VALLEY: #Kashmiri#Wedding Kashmiri Weddings are full of joyful and traditional ceremonies. First step towards a Kashmiri wedding is the matching of the horoscopes or teknis of the prospective bride and groom. Emphasis is also laid into matching the background, status and the reputation of the family of the prospective match. Once the alliance is finalized, the bride's parents propose the wedding date. When the groom's parents also give their consent, the purohit fixes the wedding date. The wedding can take place in the morning or in the night. Pre-Wedding Rituals Several interesting and colorful ceremonies are observed as a part of the pre-wedding rituals in a traditional Kashmiri wedding. Vanna or Formal Engagement :Vanna or a formal commitment ceremony takes place once the two families agree to the alliance. The vanna ceremony takes place in front of an idol. Following the tradition, the elderly persons of both sides meet in temple and exchange flowers as a sign of celebration of the formalization of the alliance. The girls' family lays out a meal comprising of traditional Kashmiri food. Besides, in the respective houses of the bride and the groom, the eldest aunt (of the boy and the girl) prepares var (a special rice pudding) which is distributed among the neighbors and relatives. The girl's family sends cash, dry fruits and a pot containing nabad (misri) to the boy's house. Livun : Livun is the traditional cleansing of the house before a wedding. The bride's family and the boy's family do not necessarily do the livun on the same day. All the married female members of the family attend the ceremony. This is also the day when the waza or family cook arrives and puts together a mud-and-brick oven called war in the backyard of the house. This is where the traditional meals will be cooked for the wedding ceremonies. Wanwun : Few days before the wedding, Wanwun or music sessions are held every evening at the houses of both, the bride and the groom. Relatives and neighbours participate in these sessions and make them lively and fun-filled. Maanziraat: The maanziraat ceremony takes place a week prior to the wedding. It begins with krool khanun, a ceremony, which involves decorating the door of the houses of the prospective bride and the groom. Later, in the evening, the bride follows an elaborate bathing ritual. After the bath, her eldest aunt decorates her hands and feet with maanz or henna. The women invited for this occasion are served a delicious Kashmiri meal prepared by the waza. This is followed by a lively wanwun or music session.
