A Small List Of Must Haves In An Indian Grooms Wedding Dress
by Ekta M. Blogger
If we start from the top, the first item of the wedding apparel meant for the groom, and which is also compulsory as per the Indian culture, is the safa. Safa is also known as the wedding turban and is basically a long piece of cloth which is skilfully wound tightly around the head of the groom. The colour, fabric and style of tying this safa vary from region to region in India. In current times, pre-tied safas are present in the market which can be worn and taken off much more easily than the hand tied safas.
Sarpech
The safas are generally adorned with a sarpech. Sarpech is Mughal jewellery, which resembles a peacock feather and has precious metals in the center and may also have chains originating from it and extending around the turban, giving it a rich and regal look. The designs and styles of these Sarpech have changed over time and they can now be found in many different shapes, sizes, styles and different precious stones.
Groom Wedding Sehra
There was a time, when it was believed that the Indian groom wedding dress should not see his brides face before the wedding or else it would be bad luck. Therefore, in order to block the view of the groom and prevent him from seeing the face of his Indian bride, a small curtain made out of flowers or beads is attached to the turban and it falls all over his face making it impossible for him to even catch a glimpse of his bride. Most of the modern grooms have given up on this tradition and do not wear the sehra at all.
