They are accorded a warm welcome inside. The groom is seated at a separate enclosure first and after some time to the center of the hall.
The bride, adorned in the traditional clothes (Potloi), is now brought to the hall. After some rituals, the bride takes seven circles around the seated groom (amidst the sounds of traditional music) and garlands the groom first and the groom garlands the bride next. During this period three women each from both the families go to a nearby pond along with a lamp (lantern) and release a pair of Lata fish (presumed to be a male and a female) into the water, symbolizing the bride and the groom. It is considered a good omen if the fishes move side by side in the water. The guests are then served dakshina (token money) and sweets for having graced the occasion.
