3. Bou Bhat : Bappa's Marriage on 30-31Apr07 at Malbazar.

en.wikipedia.org The bride (bou) comes to the house of the groom (bor) the next day - after the marriage (biye) is performed in the bride's house (see previous clip). She is then accompanied by her husband (bor) to her new home. The family members of the groom greet her by performing few social customs. Officially, she is then offered food (bou bhat), clothes and other things by her husband with a promise that he will take care of her for life. In a family meeting, the family members and close relatives gift her with gold ornaments and other precious things; the bride also officially offers everyone rice. In the evening, invited family members and friends from both families are gathered together (see next video); they gift the bride and later sit for a rich dinner specially arranged for that night. Later that night is known as 'phool sajja' (flowered bed) when they - the bride and groom start their conjugal life.
