The ritual that most signifies a Bengali style wedding is the ritual of Shubho Drishti, where the bride covers her face with a betel leaf and is carried by her brothers on a peeri (wooden plank meant to be used to sit on the floor) and take seven rounds of the bridegroom before being face to face with him for the ‘Shubho Drishti’ Literally it means ‘auspicious sight’ In traditional arranged marriages, the boy and girl never used to see each other until this moment.

Kanyadaan is a Hindu wedding ritual where the father/mother formally gives away his daughter to the groom. It symbolizes the father/mother's acceptance of the groom as a responsible person who will take care of his daughter.
