Basically, He is my brother Manoj Gurung and his lovely wife Sarita Gurung with him.
The day was started in real rush. The home has been decorated and the gate was prepared with specific natural plants and their parts such as: whole banana tree, bamboo, steam and leaves of plant known as 'Sami'.

"Hero of the day" the groom got himself well dressed,ready and the colleagues and relatives were gathered to join "janti", the group of people who we're supposed to go with groom to bride's home to take her back with groom. All the gifts or an offerings , which we called as "sagoons" were packed in local carriages known as "soli" to be carried by beautiful young unmarried gurung ladies.IMG_20170117_091857.jpg
Elders and relatives offered "tika" and " khada" to groom and wished him a luck too. Eventually we were all set to head for bride's home with local band which we called it a " naumati panchhe baajaa".
