It should happen according to the traditions and customs of the Bunt community, to which Aishwarya Rai belongs. We will have to wait and watch as to what happens.
If Aishwarya Rai?s Bunt community customs prevail, Abhishek Bachchan could be the ‘ghar jamai’ of the Rai family, while she will own the property and run the house!
For, as per some Bunt customs, the girl?s family gives a huge dowry to the boy?s and brings him into their house. Delighted with the match, Bangalore Bunts association secretary Amarnath Hegde told TOI: “We are very happy. And as per our custom, as a matrilineal community, we are welcoming Abhishek into our community. Our daughter has not gone out, he has come into us.”
The Bunts, a land-owning 15-lakh strong community of agriculturists, spread almost equally in coastal Karnataka and Mumbai, are worshippers of the ‘bhoothanatha’, a spirit god. If Aishwarya?s community has its way, she will get married in the typical Bunt style, complete with a mantap decorated by arecanut bunches and jasmine. The engagement ceremony takes place in the bride?s house.
As per custom, Aishwarya should wear a red or maroon Kancheevaram saree, jasmine-studded plait, a ‘patti’ around the waist, ‘vanki’ on the arm, green and red bangles, a ‘mundole’ on her forehead, a bunch of pearls at her upper ear and a seven-diamond stud in her ears. The groom wears a ‘kache-panche’ (traditional dhoti) and a white shirt, though modern Bunts even wear ‘sherwanis’.
