Sikkim has a rich cultural heritage which is visible in their wedding rituals and ceremonies. A fine blend of contemporary style and traditions, they offer the splendid spectacles of unique dressing and grand celebrations. Nyen- the two part wedding ceremony is the main ritual, many pre-wedding ceremonies are also celebrated with the same fervor. After matching horoscopes of the bride and groom to be “khachang”- a group of 4 elders take “tsamtruk”- a basket filled with puffed rice, a bottle of wine, token cash and a traditional scarf called “Hada” to the grooms house. The groom offers “Aaya Seygo” a special dish of cooked chicken, rice and some soup to the brides maternal uncle as soon as the match has been accepted. The “Khelen ritual performed by “Jo”-a shamanist priest invokes the ancestral deities and family protector deities to bless the newly wedded couple. The fun and banter to finalize the Rinzo(bride price)is also a priceless experience.
