Understanding the Mameru Ceremony

The Mameru ceremony is a cherished Gujarati wedding tradition where the bride's maternal uncle (mama) visits her, bearing gifts and sweets. Traditionally, the uncle presents the bride with a Panetar saree, jewelry, and ivory or white bangles (chura). Additionally, trays of beautifully packed sweets and dry fruits are gifted to the bride.
