The ceremony follows the customary ritual in the northern Districts.

When the family gods are worshipped, the women sit round a grinding-stone and invite the ancestors of the family by name to attend the wedding, at the same time placing a little cowdung in one of the interstices of the stone.

When they have invited all the names they can remember they plaster up the remaining holes, saying, 'We can't recollect any more names.' This appears to be a precaution intended to imprison any spirits which may have been forgotten, and to prevent them from exercising an evil influence on the marriage in revenge for not having been invited.

Among the Dangurs the bride and bridegroom go to worship at Hanuman's shrine after the ceremony, and all along the way the bride beats the bridegroom with a tamarind twig.

The dead are both buried and burnt, and mourning is observed during a period of ten days for adults and of three days for children.
