Traditionally in Rajasthan, the groom arrives riding a beautifully decorated horse, often referred to as a “ghodi.” This royal style reflects the heritage of kings and warriors. In some modern weddings, the groom may also arrive in a luxury car or even on an elephant or vintage vehicle, but the traditional horse entry remains the most iconic. The groom is dressed in a royal outfit, usually a sherwani with an elegant turban called a “safa.” Sometimes, he even carries a ceremonial sword, symbolizing pride and honor.
