A Bride's homecoming, Sri Lanka.


After the Registration of the marriage and the wedding reception, the bride and groom go away for a few days. They are then escorted to the Bride-groom's house with a few house-hold essentials like an almyra - cupboard, a pestle and mortar, a broom, a few items of furniture etc., froom the Bride's house. This last act is called a 'home-coming'. You see a scene at a 'home-coming' in the above photo.
