Chapter.33. Rituals and Customs.

### Hi, reader as you all know this an imaginary story, the upcoming chapter will have some imaginary created rituals and customs. I hope you won't relate them and will enjoy the story. Thank you. ###

The marriage took place like a normal Hindu marriage but the only thing that wasn't included was bending and touching feet of elders for blessings. Veer told them "A king never bows down; he can only bend in front of gods and his own partner. If he bows to someone else then his kingdom will be under that person. And kingdom people will always be at mercy of that person."

Ayushi told Kriti the same as now she is the Queen of Udaipur and mother of kingdom, her every action holds value and she will bend only in front of gods and Ajay. The new couple can only bend their heads a little for taking blessing and to respect elders. During this time, Ayushi won the hearts of Nairs that they started considering her as their 3rd daughter in the family.

Post marriage, Nair family told them about years old tradition of having the newly married couple stay at girl's house for next 3 days and complete some rituals. Nair family convinced Ayushi and Veer to join the rituals as well as it will bring blessing to their married life. Other elders with bua sa and ansh went back to Rajasthan soon after the wedding, as in place of youngster they are handling work.

The next day of marriage, Kriti's grandmother states first ritual that was to visit 111 temple on 3 mountains surrounding there village, and during this time husband has to carry his wife in his arms and wife's legs should not touch the ground, indicating that her husband will always treat her like his queen and won't let any trouble touch her feet. And wife in the whole time will feed prasad that they receive from each temple, with her hands to her husband, indicating that she will always endure the health of her husband and take care of him throughout her life.

Geet : what if husband can carry his wife, or in middle he drops her?

Grandmother : then they can always come back anytime again in future, but they have to go back that day and can't take part in final prayers. It also means that they didn't receive God's blessing to have trouble free life, their life will have some issues and the couple have to understand each other more so that they can fight with those troubles together.

Vash : what happens to the couples who will complete this?

Grandmother : that couple will have God's blessing upon them and on their relation. Couple's relation will never have troubles or issues in them, God ensure their bond to always remain strong and they will remain happy with each other.

Ashu : grand ma, only newlyweds do the ritual?

Grandmother : no, any couple who wants to do this can do. No matter if they are newlyweds or years old couple or just in relationship, they can anytime test and prove their love for each other in front of god.

The temple visit is scheduled to start with sunrise and newlywed couple with some other couples from in and around the village joins. Ajay and Kriti stats first, Veer and Ayushi next to them and other couple after them. Family members were walking beside them. On visiting every temple they get a Prasad, which each wife has to feed her husband, and if husband eats whole prasad then wife has to wait them next temple to again receive Prasad, wife can't speak during this time and if husband doesn't eat then wife can also not eat. The duty of husband here is to eat half of Prasad so that wife can have other half, but no one tells about this to husband and wife's can't speak, even wife's are told about this ritual in their ears by some other wife's who have done this ritual before they start.

The journey starts, the couples visit the first temple and priest gave them a bundi ka laddu, Veer didn't like it so he tried to deny but then Ayushi's face reflecting like she was asking him to at least take a bit.
