All this flaunting wealth and lifestyle when the average American citizen is trying to make a living is bound to make an impact.

Some don’t seem to get it).”
More about Indian baraat
For the unversed, baraat is the most important part of a Santani wedding or a Hindu wedding. The groom’s family attends it, as the groom-to-be sits on a horse, and the family escorts him to the bride’s place to marry her. The baraat involves dhol, naach-gaana by the entire groom’s family. Before sitting on the horse, the sister of the groom feeds daal-channa to the horse. And bhabhis put kaala teeka on the nape of the groom to protect him from all the evil eyes.
