Aab Shairun
Ritualist Bath
Aab shairun (Ritualist bath) is usually done by bride the morning of wedding day. It is followed by her reading a Surah or a page of Quran. Tradionally an elderly aunt or uncle sits next to the bride to offer a calming presence to a nervous bride while the women sing wanwun.
