6. Dropping The Kaleera Pose

Kaleeras are beautiful accessories worn on the wrists of Indian/Punjabi brides during the Kaleera ceremony that takes place on the day of the wedding. They are hung with bangles or choora looking like gorgeous chandeliers. There are multiple options to choose from - from dainty kaleeras to personalized kaleeras, to elaborate ones. But the best photos of Kaleera ceremony are taken when the bridesmaids sit in line for the bride to play with her kaleeras and drop some on their heads. It is believed that if the kaleera falls on your head, you are next in line to get married. It's a fun ritual and taking photos here would only seize this moment to glorious memories.
