The Bombay papers contain an account
of the celebration of marriage ceremony,
which took place at Indore on the Sd May,
betw cen his highness Mulha Row Halkarand
Chandler Bye. on which occasion the resi-
! dent sir John Malcolm, accompanied by
| number OF officers were present. The &C
counts state that :" the bride being of Raj
put extraction. and OF higher cast than the
bridegroom, a peculiar ceremony was in con-
sequence observed In Hindoo marriages, it
| is the custom for the bridegroom to stand on
one side Of a suspended cloth, the bride be-
| ing on the other side; upon the Brahmin's
clapping his hands the cloth is dropped and
the bride, advancing to her husband, throws
a garland over his neck, they are then con-
stituted man and wife. But on this occasion
sword was substituted in the place of the
| Maharajah, and the bride was formally car
ried to the sword. The Specification of this
strange ceremony is said to be, that the sword
of state prevails over the consideration Of
caste.
After the Maharajah had returned to the
assembly, his young bride was brought in
yelled, in her bridal attire, ard seated by
his side. She was betweennine and ten years
Of age, and very good looking and far. of
which she allowed the assembly to Judge by
uncovering her face without any alfeclation
of reserve.
Dubois, the most accurate observer OF the
Hindo manners and customs, differs, in one
point, in his description of the ceremonies
used upon such occasions, from the above &C.
count. He states that. after dropping the
cloth, it is the bridegroom who advances 10
the bride and throws the Taby over her
neck, which const utes them man and wife.
