Baraat (Hindi: बरात; Urdu: برات‎) is a groom’s wedding procession. It is customary for the bridegroom to travel to the wedding venue on a mare, accompanied by his family members.

The Milni ceremony is an indian wedding tradition where family members of the bride and groom greet each other at the start of the day, sometimes for the first time. As an icebreaker, some family members attempt to lift each other with the lifter being victorious!
