Usually in Hindu weddings held in the Indian subcontinent, a rope or a string kind of grass is either tied to the finger or the waist of the bridegroom. This is just like when a person is getting to do some hard work he ties a cloth around his waist for it is said to give an extra strength or support to the person's spine that is going to do the tough job.

Similarly in Hindu weddings the groom ties the rope of dharba made of a special kind of dry grass on the waist of the bride making her prepare for the new life which will be full of new responsibilities in their marital life with ease. But nowadays this sring is mainly tied only in fingers to ease out the procedure.
