After a long time, I got some time to make another South Indian wedding scene! This is all about the Bride and Groom having their lunch together, for the first time after the wedding ceremony! Bride and Groom will be served separately and five plantain leaves will be arranged together, and the wedding meals will be served on these leaves. The Bride and Groom will have food from the same leaf. They feed the food to each other and Bride's and Groom's parents and other close relatives also sit along with them to have lunch. This is a very fun event since, the other people watching the bride and groom eat, pull the legs of all the couples sitting there to have their meals. Even the other couples sitting along with the bride and groom will be forced to feed each other.
In front of the banana leaves beautiful and colorful rangoli will be drawn and the lamps will be lit.
In this ritual, the groom's mother-in-law will serve the food to the groom and the the groom is supposed to hold the hand of his mother-in-law while she is serving. (This is like the groom is teasing the mother-in-law by holding her hand and trying to get naughty, this is my way of understanding 😜)
I used some waste containers to make these dolls. Overall, it was a fun project to make. I tried to be quite creative and imaginative and very happy with the results!
I am planning to make some more South Indian wedding scenes in my near future!
Will be back with my next project and until then,
Happy Crafting!
