A stunning reversal of tradition from Uttar Pradesh’s Prayagraj has taken over social media, after a bride was captured leading her own baraat in full royal style. The viral video shows her seated gracefully in a decorated carriage, confidently heading toward the wedding venue.
The entrance has left not only viewers, but also the internet amazed. According to tradition, it is the groom who leads the wedding procession to the bride’s home.
Why Did This Bride Lead Her Own Baraat in Prayagraj?
Reports suggest that Rajesh Jaiswal, the bride’s father, has five daughters and no sons, and has always raised them with the same encouragement and freedom traditionally given to boys.
