Doli/Palki

Doli is a ceremonial send-off by the bride’s family. It is when the bride bids her family and friends goodbye and is escorted to her doli (a carriage or cot that will take her to her matrimonial home) by her father and all male family members.

I saw this traditional Doli recently on my trip in woods in the upper reaches.
