What is the Mameru or Mosalu ceremony?
The Mameru ceremony, also called mosalu, is a customary Gujarati event in which the bride is visited by her maternal aunt's husband and her maternal uncle (Mama). During the ritual, the bride and groom touch Mama and Mami's feet and ask for their blessing.
The custom helps to fortify the relationship between maternal relatives. A Panetar saree, jewelry, ivory or white chura (bangles), and a gorgeously organized selection of sweets and dried fruits in trousseau trays are among the gifts given at the ceremony.
Mameru ceremony marks the beginning of the wedding festivities.
