Marriage went off well with good blessings, the couple promised each other to stay together always and are done with the pheras around the sacred fire .

Starting with post wedding Punjabi rituals ,first comes the most painful and tearful time, the bidai time. Here , the bride takes farewell from her father’s house. She throws rice over her head and takes her steps towards a new life with her in-laws.

Welcoming the bride into her in-laws house and family, before the couple enters the house, the groom’s mother puts mustard oil on both the sides of the entrance door. She performs traditional aarti with a pitcher of water and attempts to drink water from the pitcher for seven times .she gets to drink the water in the seventh time. then bride is asked to enter the house with her first step with right foot.

Then mooh dikhai is performed as one of the post-wedding Punjabi rituals wherein the bride is shown to the mother-in-law and groom’s family, and the family members gift the bride with jewellery, cash and other gifts and sweets in the form of Shagun.

These days reception is also held so as to make the bride feel comfortable in her in-laws family and hence to introduce the bride to the in-laws family and friends. This is not a traditional reason, but has a western origin and is getting popular in India as well.

Next day is the day of phera dalna in which the bride’s brother comes to the grooms place to take them to his place and so the bride and groom visit the bride’s paternal house. Here , they are given lots of sweets and gifts yet again.

This marks the end of wedding and slowly and steadily the girl adjusts herself in the in-laws family according to her new family .
