After taking these seven vows, the bride will change her place and sit on the left side of the groom. Dipti has now acquired the status of The Kulvadhu of The Doshi Family, having completed her inaidenhood. Now, let us hail the couple with saffron coloured rice, in the air filled with the blowing of conches, ringing of bells and melodious music.
And now, the couple will perform the ceremony of the seventh phera. At this time, the bride will follow the groom. Both the parents will offer sacred rice at the feet of the god, when the words namah swäha" are being uttered in the last quarter of the shlokas which will be sung at this time. At last, they will recite the mantra," Om Punyaham, punyaham, priyantám, priyantām", thrice with us.
