When it comes to Goa, people often consider it synonymous to being carefree fun and frolic.
While Goans do live up their lives in a very coastal upbringing, something only Goans can, the community has its very own traditions and customs especially when it comes to marriage ceremonies.
The Goan wedding ceremonies like many other parts of India happen over a number of days. Pre-wedding rituals to the wedding day and post-wedding rituals often stretch from 4 to 7 days leading to the culmination of a true Goan wedding.
Different villages have their own unique cultural traditions being followed from generation to generation.
Many such traditions are not limited to any one religion and are often more of a cultural tradition followed by almost all communities in Goa.
Both the Hindus as well as the Christian communities celebrate the bangle ceremony known as Chuddo in the local language.
Anointing both the bride to be and the groom to be is a customary tradition followed across Goa. Friends, relatives, and neighbors all take turns in Anointing the soon to be married bride and groom.
