Kalichdis- The Story Of Small Sparkling Diamond Rings!

 Walking in the banquet hall of a wedding, a man sees a small ring rolling towards his feet. As he

bends to pick it up a girl comes up to him.

She says, “Thank you for picking up my Kalichdi”.

“What is a Kalichdi?” he asks her, curious about its significance.

So, she tells him the story of Kalichdis- the Small Diamond Rings

The Story Of A Small Tinklet

The journey of Kalichdis begins with traditional Hindu Weddings.

A Hindu wedding is a festival in itself with several stories woven together to make the journey of a lifetime. It is the story of the couple and their families celebrating the commencement of a new

relationship through various ceremonies.

To understand the importance of Kalichdis, let’s understand these ceremonies.

The Ceremonies

Roka is where the whole shebang begins. It signifies the couple’s acceptance of each other and their future marriage. Both the families officially meet and are introduced to each other, with sweets and gifts often being shared.

Sagai or the engagement is what follows the Roka. It is a ceremony where wedding rings and

wedding gifts are exchanged between the two families, establishing this wonderful relationship.

“Keep following, there is more!”, she continued.

The events that take place after Sagai are clubbed together. These events are Mehandi/Sangeet,

Haldi, Chooda, and the D-Day!

Mehandi and Sangeet often take place at the same time. It is an event where women can get henna designs on their hands, while the bride gets it on her feet as well. This is often followed by lots of music and dancing, and is a fun day full of laughter!

Haldi and Chooda are done on the day of the wedding. The Haldi event is celebrated by applying a paste of turmeric to the couple. Chooda is a ceremony specifically for the bride where her maternal uncle (Mama) gives the traditional bangles that she wears for the first year of marriage.

Now comes the D-day that everyone has been eagerly awaiting: Check out here about Silver Kalichdi

The Wedding Day!

This is the day when the couple is on cloud nine. Becoming the stars of everyone’s eyes and getting all the attention, they tie the knot and agree to take 7 vows while walking in circles around the sacred fire. From here on, they stand happily married.

“Did you think it ends here?”, she asked eagerly.
