Event: My Juroon ceremony, held on 2nd Oct, 2008 - a day before my marriage with Nilotpal (Don). What is it: "Juroon" is a pre-wedding ceremony in Assamese marriages where the groom's family comes over to the brides' to gift her with jewellery and the bridal trousseau. Seated before the 'morol' or mandap, in front of a mirror, the mother-in-law first applies the sindoor/vermillion on the bride and slips in the wedding ring and decks her with everything from her bridal make-up down to her sandals. In exchange, the bride's family presents the groom's raiment and accessories. The groom is not allowed to attend this ceremony.
This ceremony is followed by "Nuoni" or "Haldi-chandan" where realtives apply haldi/turmeric and moong paste and dahi (yogurt) on the bride and groom at their respectives homes and bathe them with water (women get a pail of water from a source of running/non-stagnant water). Significance: In ancient times, when there was no make-up, this ceremony acted as a beauty enhancer.
