Kalar weddings
The Kalar community is also known by the names of Kalwar and Kalal. Traditionally, the distillation and selling was the primary profession of the Kalar community people. However, in the 20th century, the tribe's people started leaving this occupation. They started to redefine the Kalar community by including the various traditions and rituals from the upper castes in their castes.
Due to the association with the distillation and selling of the liquors, the people of the Kalar community had a low social status in society. The British people imposed too many sanctions on alcohol. As a result, the Kalar people had to give up their job. They adopted the profession of trade, agriculture, and army services during British rule.
The Kalar Samaj matrimony functions are enriched with traditional rites and rituals that not only establishes a new relationship between a man and a woman, but these rituals also strengthen the bond between the two families. After the Haldi rasm and worshipping of the family deity, the rites of the wedding day started.
In seemant pooja, the bridegroom reaches the Kalar matrimony bride's home along with baraat. In this ritual, the bride's mother washes the Kalar matrimony groom's feet and showers him with gifts and good wishes. The bride performs the pooja with her parents while wearing a yellow dress. This ritual is known as Gaurihar pooja.
All these poojas are followed by the Antarpat and Sankalp ritual, where guests sprinkle rice grains on the couple while the priest chants the mantras for the Kalar bride and groom separated by silk shawl. After this, the couple takes seven rounds of fire, and the groom ties mangalsootra on the bride's neck.
In this way, the marriage completes, and the guests enjoy the relishing wedding food.
