In Hindu weddings, the bride traditionally wears a sareeโoften red or maroonโsignifying fertility, prosperity, and marital bliss. The saree is often gifted by the groomโs family or the brideโs mother as a sacred blessing. The pallu is sometimes used during rituals like the โGathbandhan,โ where it is tied to the groomโs attire to symbolize union.
