Zoroastrian weddings are a religious ceremony in which two individuals, a man and a woman are united. A few of our ceremonies are briefly described here.
A Parsi Wedding (lagan) usually takes place either at a Baug or at an Agiary – the Fire Temple. We Parsis consider the period immediately after sunset or very early in the mornings auspicious for marriage.
On the day of the Parsi Wedding (lagan), a chalk or rangoli pattern adorns the staircase and doorway of the bride & the groom’s home. Even the gates of the wedding venue or baug are decorated with large colorful designs.
Wedding feast Menu:
-
First serving begins with Wafers (rice sarya), Lagan nu Achaar (pickle) and Rotli (chappati or bread) and a vegetable dish like Parsi Lagansara Stew.
-
Second serving can be a chicken (or any meat) dish. This Chicken course includes: Chicken Farcha or Salli Ma Margi followed by more meat in the form of Kid Gosht.
-
Third serving is followed with fish some examples are Fried Fish, Machi no saas or Patra ni macchi.
-
Fourth serving consists of a rice entree – Mutton pulao (or vegetarian pulao) with Dhansaak Masala Dal.
-
Fifth and a sweet ending with Lagan Nu Custard, an extremely rich dessert, is offered. In the summer Cassata Icecream or chilled Kulfi is better.
