Bengali women performs rituals at a Bengali wedding. The Ullulation sound is made with the tongue, to ward off evil spirits.

In Bengal matrimony, Ashirwad is the ceremony, which is similar to the engagement ceremony and is organized two-three day prior to the wedding day. Ashirwad is a confirmation of the marriage alliance. During the Ashirwad ceremony, the groom’s family visits the bride’s home, where they shower the bride with lots of blessings and gifts, which include saris for the bride, jewellery like gold ring, chain, etc., sweets, betel nuts, etc.

The Ashirwad ceremony is conducted in the presence of a priest who worships the idol of Bhagwan Narayan. Similarly, the bride’s family visits the groom’s home and gifts him gold ring, gold buttons, sweets, watch, etc.

On the day of the wedding (or within a week before wedding), the groom's and the bride's father offer prayers to the ancestors. A pundit is called and a pooja takes place in their respective houses. This is called Vriddhi.

Before sunrise on the day of the wedding Dadhi Mangal is performed. The bride and the groom, in their respective homes, wear fresh clothes and are offered milk based products (curd, milk, meetha etc) to eat. This is done because the whole day, till the wedding ceremony is over, both of them are in vrata and don't eat anything. This is preceded by a happily married couple fetching water (ideally from a well) in a matka.
