Indian weddings are known for their traditions and richness.All the rituals performed in it have one or other importance.One of the important ritual of all these is Bride's 'Bidai'.Wedding is a cherished moment,which is more of a dream come true.After the dream realizes,its time for bride to leave her house,this emerges out as the most painful moment of all.This is what the Indian Wedding 'Bidai' ceremony is all about.
'Bidai' is a post wedding ceremony,which takes place after the wedding rituals are completed.It is a tearful ritual as bride bids farewell to her family...the pain of missing her and the joy of marrying her overwhelms the heart of her parents.
This traditional ritual depicted in this art-piece is an effort to capture the richness of that moment...Bride in the 'Doli' heading towards the new phase of her life....
