Why Aiburo Bhaat Ritual Is Celebrated With Much Significance?

To begin with, let me first tell you that aiburo bhaat in Bengali weddings signifies a sweet transition of the unmarried to the marital life. The term ‘aiburo’ refers to the bachelor male or female while the term 'bhaat' means rice. 

This ritual is celebrated to bless the wedding couple individually before they embark on a new wedded journey together. It is considered to bring them good luck and joy for the rest of their life. 

The aiburo bhaat ceremony is usually celebrated two days before the wedding. But, as part of the recent trends, the wedding couples are invited to their relatives, friends, and colleague's home for the aiburobhat ritual. 

So, now that you know why Bengal is called a fascinating place with fun and delicious rituals and customs. Let us take you through some of the aiburo bhaat in Bengali menu that you cannot stop drooling over! 🤤🤤🤤
