Rasraj & Banani's story
Rasraj and I met at the company where I started my career. While he was there, nothing much happened between us. It was only after he left that I messaged him, asking if he had left. He said yes, and that’s where it all began.
We connected quickly, sharing everything about our lives. We wanted to be honest before deciding to be together. Years later, here we are, getting ready to tie the knot on 3rd March 2025.
Our journey has been full of ups and downs. We’ve fought, cried, and argued over the silliest things. But no matter what, we always came back together, solved our problems, and ended the day as a team. (By the way, he’s always the first to say sorry, and I happily take advantage of it!)
I’m the lively one, full of excitement for everything, while he’s calm and responsible. He never gave up on us—not even once—and that’s what I love most about him. I plan, he executes, and that’s how we work. This has been our journey so far, and I can’t wait to keep building it together.

Followed by in the evening 'Subho Drishti'- The grand entry of bride on a wooden stool called "pidi" which is carried by her four brothers. Then the bride slowly removes the betel leaves away from her face and both the couple's eyes meet for the first time in that evening.
Followed by Garland Exchange- This joyful custom ends up in a pearl of laughter with the exchange of garlands between bride and groom.
Sindur Daan marks the end of the wedding when the groom smears red sindoor on the hair parting of the bride using a mirror or ring. After which the bride's face is covered by a new saree offered by the groom.
