  The Journey of a Marwari Wedding
  A Marwari wedding isn’t just a single event, it’s a multi-day cultural journey. From the first Roka to the final Pag Phera, each ceremony carries its own meaning, symbolism, and emotions. Here’s how the timeline unfolds:
   
• Pre-Wedding Rituals
  Roka: The official union of two families, sealed with tilak, gift exchanges, and blessings.
  Byah Haath & Naandi Ganesh Pooja: Held a week before the big day, featuring traditional sweets, Mangal geet, and Ganesh Pooja to bless the couple.
  Bhaat Nyotana & Bhaat Bharna: Mothers invite maternal relatives and receive symbolic gifts of support from their families.
  Mudda Tikka (Sagai): Engagement ceremony where rings, gifts, and sweets are exchanged.
   
• Celebration Ceremonies

  Geet Samelan & Ratri Jaga: Nights of music, dance, and blessings from ancestors to ward off negativity.
  Telbaan & Pitthi Dastoor (Haldi): Pre-wedding blessings using mustard oil, curd, and turmeric for good fortune.
