A Maithili cultural wedding (Maithil Vivah) is a deeply traditional, multi-day affair in the Mithila region (Bihar/Nepal), known for its unique rituals, emphasis on ancestral lineage checking by Panjikars (registrars) to avoid incest, vibrant Kohbar art (wall paintings in the nuptial chamber), and a four-day ceremony with the groom staying at the bride's home until Chaturthi, often mirroring the marriage of Lord Rama and Sita.
Key Aspects of a Maithili Wedding:
Arranged & Conservative: Marriages are arranged, often with the groom's family waiting for the bride's family to initiate, and are considered permanent.
Ghatak (Mediator): A crucial figure, the Ghatak, helps find matches, a process called Ghatkaiti.
Genealogy (Panji Pratha): Before marriage, a Panjikar meticulously checks family records for five (maternal) and seven (paternal) generations to ensure no blood relation, a unique tradition.
Four-Day Event: The ceremony spans four days, with the fourth day, Chaturthi, being essential for validity, involving the groom staying at the bride's house.
Kohbar Art: Women create intricate Kohbar paintings (Madhubani art style) in the bridal chamber (Kohbar ghar), often depicting gods, which the groom "marries" first by putting vermilion on it.
Attire: Brides wear rich sarees (red/colorful), while grooms wear dhoti-kurta with a traditional headwear (Pag).
Rituals: Involve Vedic mantras, Kul Devi Puja, Gauri Puja, and the Dwirangman/Vidai (bride's departure), traditionally delayed for some time.
In essence, it's a culturally rich, tradition-bound event emphasizing family lineage and unique artistic expressions, deeply rooted in Hindu scriptures and local heritage.
