Learn from Ras Bageshwar Dham, why you should eat pulses and rice in marriage. (Amnesty International)Bagshaw Pages: Wedding rituals in India are diverse, complex, last for several days, and vary according to the religion, community, and region of the bride and groom. During this period, common rituals like engagement, haldi, sangeet, procession, jimala and pheras are performed. All these rituals have been going on since ancient times. But with the passage of time, some marriage customs have completely changed today. One such custom is the tradition of eating in a wedding procession. Nowadays, people rely on a buffer system, which is completely different from the ancient tradition. Bageshwar Dham chief Dhirendra Shastri narrates in a video that nowadays there is a buffer system in weddings like puri, kachori, vegetables, sweets etc. Aha…the very rich stand in line to get bread. But in this system, what should really be there is not available, which is pulses and rice. Let us know what is the importance said by Dhirendra Shastri about pulses and rice in weddings?
What did Dhirendra Shastri say about pulses and rice?
In the video, Dhirendra Shastri tells that today’s buffet has all kinds of expensive foods. But the truth is that the main meal at a wedding is dal and rice. In Bundelkhand, a lot of milk is prepared and consumed. Mothers make it by grinding legumes. Our mother also prepared it yesterday and you also came after eating it. Our nephew and daughter-in-law also came back after eating. Mother was saying there was a lot of praise today. Many other people also told that they enjoyed the food yesterday. Maharaj Ji also came yesterday after eating a lot of Bundelkhandi dishes.
What is the importance of legumes and rice in weddings?
Dhirendra Shastri says there is an ancient tradition of eating pulses and rice at weddings. Therefore, the first meal for marriage must be legumes and rice. Pulses and rice means raw food. They say there is toda todi in Puri. In such a marriage, if there is some separation at first, there will certainly be some separation later. But it is eaten by mixing legumes and rice. Both pulses and rice belong to different families. But when both come together they create taste. Likewise, a girl belongs to a different family, and a boy belongs to a different family. In such a case, both become one, and thus pulses and rice are fed.
