Customs of Kumaoni Wedding
Usually among most of the religions in India as a part of engagement, rings are exchanged between the bride and the groom. But this is quite different in Kumaoni wedding for the ring is given to the bride by the brother of the groom to the would be sister- in -law and the groom's ring is given to the younger brother normally on the wedding day itself.

Suwal Pathai is one of the important ritual in Kumaoni wedding which involves the kneading of the wheat flour and rolled much thinner than the rotis and sundried. Then it is dipped in the dry flour and fried in oil and is first offered to God and then to all the guests. This is then followed by Duligargh and flowers are exchanged between the bride and the groom. This common folklore is followed in most parts of Himachal Pradesh.
