Vidaai Tradition
Wedding ceremony here in India is
decorated by whole range of genre

significant value. The Vidaai
ceremony is one custom that takes
place in the culminating part of
the wedding ceremony. This marks the
‘seeing off’ the bride as she leaves her

Winning the bride – the Vidaai is
integral!
In India, the combined family is still a
dominant norm and while more of the
nucleated homes are getting
established, the concept of ‘one family’
has never gone weak!
The wedding invites this concept again
with the full appeal and thus the
resonance with the allied traditions.
Actually, there is an intrinsic relation
between the ‘one family’ value and the
Vidaai custom of the marriage. It all
starts with the grand ‘baraat’ that is led

guests, friends and his family members.
There is a royal element attached with it
and a sense prevails whereby the
groom proceeds to win her lady for ever.
This is the charm concept! The Indian
groom still therefore loves to ride the
royal horse in his pursuit! The lady after
committing to all the promises and
consenting to the proposals offered to
her finally gets ready to be
accompanied by her husband. This is
time for Vidaai and an emotional appeal
is built up where the parents and
siblings and all the close guests express
their love and the inability to extend this
parting! …

Vidaai ceremony is therefore marked by
waves of emotions that flow from all the
directions and converge at
the bride who leaves for the new union.
The Vidaai customs
Amid all these emotions brimming, the
regional customs and religious cultural
elements rule high and offer the solace
and ambits to live the occasion in all
aspects. The emotions reach the zenith
when rasms (traditions) like ‘annvarsha’
are re lived by the bride and her family.

her hand and thus signifies that the
good fortune would continue to reside in
this house even after she leaves.
Conversely, the bride also lives another
custom when she carries the holy book
(Gita/Quran) at her head and finally
walks out of her parents’ home. This
signifies that she is leaving with the best
knowledge and spirits and with a pious
mind to make her new home full and
prosperous! Such customs invite the
mammoth value to the Vidaai ceremony
and make it wholesome and fitting
component of the entire wedding.

Inviting the mixed feel
The bride finally leaves with her in laws
as the baraat returns together with all
the guests. It should be stated that
Vidaai as a custom offers the mixed feel
and fervour whereby the parents of the
bride feel good for having fulfilled their
heavenly obligation of ‘kanya daan’ and
at the same time they get sad at parting
with their daughter whom they have
escorted till this moment in all walks
of life! They also feel contented that
their daughter is now leaning for the
fulsome life with a fitting partner!
