The word Baraat is a Hindi word meaning “a marriage procession.”
In North Indian communities it is customary for the groom to travel to the bride’s house on a white horse.
This often becomes a huge procession, with its own band and dancers.

The groom and his horse a covered in finery and not not usually take part in the dancing and singing: this let to the “baraatis” or the people in the procession.
The term “baraati” is also used to describe any invitee from the groom’s side.
The baraat goes on to the meeting point, for the elders of both families to meet and welcome the groom with garlands and aararti.
Aarati is a Hindu ritual, in which a devotional song is sung to develop the highest love of god.
“Aa” means “towards” and “rati” means “the highest love for god” in Sanskrit. Aarti and Arti are also common names for Hindu girls.
The noise and excitement of an Asian wedding, the Asian wedding music, the amazing sound of the dhol drummers, combined with the wedding crowds, let everyone know of the wedding.
Our White Decorated Wedding Horses enable the groom to ride in style with composure and elegance to meet his bride at the baraat for their big day.
We can also provide a decorated white horse and carriage. The “Ghori” decorated in traditional Indian wedding accessories, with our staff dressed traditional Asian costumes.
Transporting your Indian bridegroom to his wedding in this fashion will show, “his power, community standing and wealth” as he arrives in style.
We can also provide a traditional decorated umbrella, to keep with the tradition and ward away any evil spirits.
Traditionally the white horse is a female (mare) as opposed to a male (stallion). For this reason that female horses are more docile than male horses, which is certainly true. Castrated male horses (geldings) are much quieter and as easy to handle, as the mare. However, as the mares go through hormonal changes during mating seasons, they can become to sensitive and jumpy to use effectively for work. For this reason we reserve the right to change the horse as appropriate. Our main concern is that the groom and baraati arrives at the meeting point quietly and safely.
