Shantiniketan, West Bengal · 2025 · Wedding Story
Rohan & Anwesha
“A red-bordered saree, a conch shell, a courtyard gone quiet.”
A Bengali wedding held in Shantiniketan, folding in the region's artistic heritage — alpana floor art, dhunuchi dance, and the hush of the Shubho Drishti before the couple's first ceremonial glance.
The rituals behind the ceremony.
- Shubho Drishti
- The couple's first auspicious glance at each other, shared as the bride is carried in on a wooden piri.
- Saat Paak
- The bride circles the groom seven times before the wedding rites begin, veiled behind betel leaves.
