Today in #masalamonday we are going to talk about #sahechithi This very traditional custom is still carried out today mostly in the sikh community, . . The girl’s family prepare a wedding invitation for the boy’s family, which is splashed with a few drops of saffron,which gives a red stain. Red is the symbol of the renewal of life in Indian culture, which is what the marriage signifies. . . The traditional significance of this ceremony is to officially invite the boy’s family to the solemnisation of the marriage and implies that they should now begin thier preparation for the wedding day. . . Preet was kind enough to share a picture of her Sahe Chithi with me. Her stain is a few hours old. It went on to get pretty dark for her wedding . .
