Bormala

A Bormala, also known as Var Mala or Jai Mala, is a traditional Indian garland exchange ceremony in Hindu weddings. This ritual symbolizes the acceptance and union of the bride and groom. Typically made from fresh flowers like roses, marigolds, or jasmine, the garlands are carefully crafted and often embellished with beads, ribbons, and decorative elements. The exchange of Bormala occurs during the wedding ceremony, where the bride and groom place the garlands around each other's necks, signifying mutual respect and the formalization of their marital bond. This event is a joyful and significant moment, celebrated with cheers and blessings from family and friends.
