He threatens to stop the custom. even
though 1t should be necessary TO invoke
the law 10 do so
Other cleTgymen heartily commend
the stand he has taken. The throwing
of rice at weddings" they saw. lis 4
heather custom, probably having its
origin in India. for among the HfndOos
the throwing of rice is expressive Of
the hope that the bride VIII in time
be a happy mother of children. D11r-
ing the marriage ceremony the bride
groom throws three handfuls of rice
over the bride, and the bride does the
same over the bridegroom. A pre-
liminary rite Is to place an eaTther
vessel filed with water on a heap OF
rice The Brahmins then repeat over
the vessel several inVOcatiOns. calling
on Varuna, the god Of the waters to
sanctify the contents which are then
poured over the head of the bride
groom.
In the next stage Of the ceremony
three female relatives wash the feet OF
the young couple three times over i'm
milk, while they are seated within the
pandal in a swing. They are then
swung while the women chant the
praises Of Krishna, the lover Of shep-
herdesses. Balls OF saffron, mixed with
rice, are then thrown toward the four
points Of the compass. This is an Of
fering to the gods and the names. all
of whom are supposed TO be present
as invited guests Saffron among the
HindOOs IS regarded as suspicious and
is as indispensable on wedding Occa-
siOns as are orange blossoms among
Europeans. As the father gives the
bride away he presents to the bride
groom grains Of rice tinged with red.

Of the cerdmOny grains Of paTChed rice
are eaten Somewhat as Europeans

docs distribute betel leaves, with the
nut Of the Areca palm and grains OF
