Baraat is procession of family, relatives, and friends of dulha that accompany the dulah to dulhan's home or wedding venue for the official wedding ceremony. Traditionally, the dulha makes his way to the dulhan's home on a richly decked horse or in a car and "baraat" follows singing and dancing. The dulha is given warm welcome by the dulhan's family with flower garlands and rose petals.

Jootha Chupai (Hide the Shoes) is a tradition where the dulhan's siblings, friends, or cousins find an opportunity to steal the dulha's shoes. They seize the shoes of the dulha and hide them. After the shoes have been hidden, the dulhan's side demands a ransom amount to give the shoes back. Only when the demands have been met the shoes are returned. With this game the families get together to watch the fun. A large, boisterous negotiation ensues, with cousins from both sides throwing out figures at each other and cracking jokes at the cheapness of the dulha. Since this tradition is well known, the dulah usually has a wad of cash on him, and it is up to the girl's cousins and siblings to get it all. This tradition is all in good fun and can live with the dulha for the rest of his life, so it's important for him to give an honorable amount.

Ruksati is the ceremony to bid farewell to the dulhan before her departure to the groom's house. She says goodbye to her parents, close friends and family. This is a very sad moment, and usually there is much crying amongst the women of the dulhan's side. A brother of the dulhan holds a Quran over her head the whole way from the stage to the car to ensure she has good blessings. Back in the motherland, the dulhan is on her way to the dulha's house where several traditional games are played at groom's house. A tray full of a mixture of water and milk is placed before the couple and a ring is thrown into the mixture and husband and wife are asked to find the ring. The one who finds the ring is considered winner and dominant partner in the relationship. Dulhan and dulah eats kheer (sweet, pudding-type desert) out of the each other's hands. Groom washes the feet of the dulhan in a basin of water that is sprinkled into the four corners of the house. It's believed that this brings wealth, prosperity and luck into the home. The dulha's sisters or female cousins then take the dulhan into her new bedroom to prepare her for her first night as a married woman, and the rest of the dulha's siblings or cousins usually block the doorway to the room and won't allow him into his bedroom until he pays up again!
