Pithi – This ceremony takes place separately at the bride’s and groom’s places the day before the wedding.

Jaan – The next ritual is known as 'Jaan' and it is performed to ward off any evil. It is quite interesting as the groom visits the bride's place and touches his mother in law's feet to seek blessings.

The Gujarati bride typically wears a traditional saree which may either be a Panetaar or a Garchola on her wedding day.
