While in Pushkar I had the chance to see how a traditional wealthy Rajhastani wedding works, or at least the preparatives. The night before the wedding (which lasts for 2 days) the friends of the groom arrange a parade around the city where the ceremony is held. The parade is organised as follows:
First the band, featuring a trolley with speakers. Along with the band a group of women and/or children porting fancy lights. After them, more children and men dancing as if the devil had taken them up. Further on the groom on a horse carrying a lucky baby (Godchild I guess). Not far from the groom, his most loyal wingman throwing off money (hell yeah!). Finally the group of women and little children (on a carriage) close the procession.
And here some ground truth about the music: the louder and the more irritating, the better!

One last thing, this 'exciting' post is meant to test the loyalty of the readers. If you made it this far you are entitled to see the bonus post that I decided to hide from my beloved ones to save them unnecessary worrying. Enjoy!
Mientras estaba en Pushkar tuve la oportunidad de ver una cabalgata prenupcial. Una banda abre la comitiva junto a unas mujeres o niños portando faroles. Detras los hombres y niños bailando poseidos. Luego el novio con un crio a caballo y junto a el, su hombre de confianza regalando dinero. Finalmente mujeres y niños, estos ultimos en un carro, cierran el desfile.
