Bridegroom's Room.

Greetings!

Arranging the Bridegroom's room with all the kitchen essentials, is a tradition in our South Indian weddings. This means, I can show off some of my mini treasures, that I have been collecting over a period of time. 

These kitchen essentials are given to the bride by her parents. So that, she will have some of the immediate kitchen essentials, when she moves to her home and starts her new life. Then slowly she and her husband can set up their home by adding rest of the things. 

It's quite an interesting thing to arrange the Bridegroom's room in a wedding hall. As soon as the bride's family enter the wedding hall, some of the family members especially ladies, will look for a proper room for the Groom's family. Generally, it will be a master bedroom with an attached bath. The bride's family will make sure that the room given to the Groom's family, has all the necessities, including bed, closets, mirror etc. 

Then, in one corner of the room, ladies and young girls will arrange all the kitchenware on a table, that will be given to the bride after the wedding. Some people arrange these things in a creative way, sometimes it will just be plain. All the kitchenware will be new and unused. 

Traditionally, all the kitchenware will be made off stainless steel, but, nowadays, modern families include even some fancy things as well. That's totally up to parents and their affordability. 

In many cases, if parents have more than one daughter, they generally start putting aside utensils, gold, silver etc for their daughters wedding when the children are young itself.

Apart from the kitchenware, sometimes people also include, fruits, vegetables and other delicacies inside the utensils instead of keeping just empty containers or dishes. 

Beautiful and colorful Rangoli  will be drawn in front of this table. It's also a tradition to keep lord Ganesha's picture and also the picture or idol of the Groom's family deity. The lamps, fruits, flowers and other pooja materials will be placed in front of the god. 

After the Groom's family enter the room, the lamps will be lit in front of the god.

People are always curious to see this room and judge what all the bride will receive in her wedding... But in my case, I am just happy to show off my miniatures 😍😜

Will be back soon, with the next event of the wedding........

Stay tuned!

💗 Revu!
