On a different occasion, the bride's family does the same for the groom. The bride and groom are gifted with dhan, or husked rice, and dubyo, or trefoil leaves. Gold jewellery, family heirlooms, and other items are among the offerings. On the wedding day, the woman is supposed to wear this jewellery. Close friends and family join in on this occasion.
