Ram Ram sa · 2026 wedding season
Planning a Marwari wedding
A Marwari wedding is a travel-logistics problem wearing a wedding. The family is dispersed — Kolkata, Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and back to Rajasthan — so nearly every guest is arriving from somewhere, and the guest list commonly runs past a thousand. The functions are numerous and the hospitality is the point: a Marwari host is judged on whether every guest was looked after, and that judgement is made by people who have hosted the same wedding themselves.

The functions, in order
If a vendor cannot name these without being told, they have not worked this wedding before. That is not a disqualification — it is a thing to know before you sign.
- 1 Ganpati Sthapana
- 2 Pithi Dastoor
- 3 Mehfil
- 4 Mahira
- 5 Baraat
- 6 Pheras
- 7 Reception
Guests are greeted with राम राम सा (Ram Ram sa) , and addressed with sa. The celebration itself is a byaah.

And then the guest list
Almost every guest needs a room, a train or flight, and a car. That makes the RSVP not a headcount but a travel manifest, and it has to be collected months out because the trains fill.
That is the part AI Shaadi does. Launching for the 2026 wedding season — no wedding has run for a paying customer yet, and we would rather say so here than let you find out later.
We may have some of this wrong
Practice varies by region, by sect and by family, and these briefs were written from general knowledge rather than from inside the community. If something here is wrong for how your family does it, tell us and we will fix the page — that correction is worth more to us than the page as it stands.
