Stages in a Kandyan wedding ceremony, Sri Lanka. - 'Handing over the bride'
Remembering the ancestors ('Hathmuthu paramparawa S - Seven generations back) |
The father of the bride tying the little fingers of the bride and groom with a thread. |
The father of the bride pouring water over the tied fingers donating the bride to the father of the groom. |
And so they remain tied by the thread till the auspicious hour a few minutes away. |
