1. Title: A Hindu Brahmin Marriage Ceremony, or Bibaha, Held in the Wife's House This hand-coloured copperplate engraving, drawn and engraved by Andrea Bernieri after Francois Solvyns from Giulio Ferrario's "Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World," depicts a traditional Hindu Brahmin marriage ceremony, also known as Bibaha. The scene unfolds in the wife's house, where the bride, adorned in resplendent attire and adorned with intricate jewelry, sits on a raised platform, surrounded by her family members and female attendants. The groom, dressed in a silk dhoti and angavastram, stands before the bride, with his hands folded in respect, as the priest performs the sacred rituals. The bride's mother applies vermilion powder, symbolizing marital devotion, on the groom's forehead, while the bride's sister holds a plate of rice, which the couple will use to perform the Arati, a ritual offering to the gods. The intricate details of the engraving reveal the richness and complexity of a Hindu Brahmin marriage ceremony. The ornate decorations on the walls, the elaborate headdresses of the attendants, and the vibrant colors of the clothing all contribute to the sense of grandeur and celebration. This beautiful illustration offers a glimpse into the cultural traditions and practices of the Hindu Brahmin community during the mid-19th century. The meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail make this a valuable historical and artistic record of a significant life event in the Hindu community.
