Curious about what a Konkani wedding ceremony really is? Here are are some things you might not know that make the ceremonies quite uniqueUdida Muhurat: Black pulse, an auspicious grain is ground by both the bride and groom..This some say is to gently get the couple to taste the ‘grind’of married life. Idlis made from this black gram are then eaten by the bride and the groom.2. Kashi Yatra- This is a lighthearted moment in the ceremony where the bridegroom says he is going to give up his worldly life and go away to Kashi or Benaras.The father of the bride then persuades him to come back to the wedding...though I am sure here Ranveer won’t need much persuasion3.
