Question: During the Ram Barat, what is the custom for the bridegroom to travel on to the wedding venue?
Context: An Odia Hindu wedding, or "bahaghara" ("Odia: ଓଡ଼ିଆ ବାହାଘର "), is a wedding ceremony performed by Odia Hindu people in the Indian state of Odisha.  There are subtle differences in the rites observed by different castes.  In the Odia marriage rituals mother of the bridegroom does not take part in the ceremony.  The Utkala Brahmins have their weddings only in the daytime, preferably mid day or mornings, while the other caste weddings are done during the evening or night.  There is the custom of sending betel nuts to family friends for inviting them to the marriage.  The first invitation is sent to Jagannath as a respect to the lord.  Marriages in Odisha are mostly fixed and arranged by the parents.  Marriages for serving or capturing is not common.  In the Odia community widow remarriage is allowed in some lower caste, in this case the younger brother is allowed to marry the deceased brother's wife.  The marriage happens in three major rituals, "Nirbandha" (fixing the marriage), "Bahaghara" (wedding) and "Chauthi/Chaturthi" (consummation).  A marriage is not considered complete or valid until consummation.  These rituals are performed either at the "Duara" (bride's house) or "Tola kania"s house.  (Bridegroom's residence).
