Overview
Roka & Sagai Ceremony for families in Rathyatra
Roka is the first formal step towards a North Indian wedding. The two families meet, the match is announced, and from that day the bride and groom are considered promised to each other. Sagai, also called mangni or the ring ceremony, follows, sometimes on the same day, when rings are exchanged and the engagement is celebrated.
Rathyatra is one of the best-known crossings in central Varanasi, linking Sigra, Mahmoorganj and the roads towards the south of the city. Its name comes from the traditional Rath Yatra fair of Lord Jagannath held in the area each year.
माङ्गल्यं तन्तुनानेन मम जीवनहेतुना।
कण्ठे बध्नामि सुभगे त्वं जीव शरदां शतम्॥
