Muhurtham Following the Kanyadaanam, the groom’s parents extend a warm gesture by presenting the bride with a nine-yard silk saree. As this garment is gracefully draped over her shoulders, the groom applies a mark, known as sindoor, upon her hair parting on her forehead. The thali is then presented to the groom by the priest to tie it around his soon-to-be wife’s neck. Afterward, the bride gracefully dons the new saree, undergoing a transformation that signifies her entry into her new role. The groom ties the initial two knots, while the groom’s sister intricately ties the conclusive and third knot.
