Koshur Wanwun
Compiled by Samina Masoodi
Mahraza Hoever Waatun
Reception of Barat
Men from the bride’s family greet the Mahraza (groom) at the entrance with garlands of flowers and currency notes while women line up on either side of the pathway to sing the wanwun welcoming him to the bride’s home. The pitch and the pace of this wanwun is high compared to other occasions, reflective of the excitement and warm welcome to the groom and his family by the bride’s family, friends and relatives.
