• Gujarati weddings comprise of a ceremony called
  as Ponkvu or Ponkhana where the mother-in-law
  welcomes the groom with an Aarti and then pulls

• In most Maharashtrian weddings, a variety of
  games are played among the bride and the groom to
  decide who will dominate the other in the
  marriage. For eg A finger ring is placed in a
  vessel filled with water and both the groom and
  the bride are asked to locate it. The one who
  finds it first is said to dominate the wedding.

• In Bihar, the most popular post-wedding ritual is
  the one in which the mother-in-law places empty
  stone-made pots on the brides head. The bride is
  expected to balance a couple of these pots on her
  head, and touch the feet of the elderly from the
  family. If she succeeds in doing so, it is said
  that she will flawlessly take care of everyone in
  the family and keep the family bonded well.

• In most Indian traditional weddings, if the girl
  is a Manglik, she is made to marry a tree. This
  ritual is said to diminish or eliminate the
  influence of Mangal Graha on her future husband.
  Marrying a Manglik girl is said to bring sorrow
  to the family and many a times death of the
  husband. Hence to avoid such distress to the
  family, marriage with a banana tree, a Peepal
  Tree, or a silver or gold idol of the Hindu God -
  Vishnu is considered an essential pre-wedding
  ritual.

• This tradition became a household talk across the
  country, especially when the famous Bollywood
  actress and a manglik - Aishwarya Rai married a
  tree before her marriage with Abhishek Bacchan.

• There are many such rituals, which signify the
  future relationship of the couple and can be
  conducted playfully without much meaning given to
  it.
• Even the guests look forward to such fun
  ceremonies soon after they received the wedding
  cards invitations.
