Panetar and Gharchola are two significant elements in traditional Gujarati weddings:
Panetar
editThe Panetar saree holds immense significance in a Gujarati wedding. It is a gift to the bride from her maternal uncle. It is typically white with a red border and is adorned with Bandhani designs (tie and dye patterns). Often, it features a checkered pattern in gold thread, with small motifs like lotuses or peacocks worked in gold at the center. The bride drapes herself in a "Panetar" on her wedding day, symbolizing blessings and good wishes from her maternal family.
Gharchola
editThe Gharchola is a saree bestowed upon the bride by her new in-laws. It originates from the Khambat (Cambay) region of Gujarat. Gharchola is a variant of the popular Bandhani saree, distinguished by its typical grid pattern. Traditionally, it is made of auspicious colors like red, maroon, green, and yellow.
The bride wears the gharchola as an odhani or chunar, draped over her head and across her shoulders. One end of the gharchola is pleated and tucked at the bride’s waist, while the other end is brought to her right shoulder, draping the saree from the back. Many contemporary brides skip draping the Pallu over their head, but the loose end that falls over the bride’s right shoulder is often tied to the groom’s sacred stole during wedding rituals. Symbolically, the Gharchola welcomes the new bride into her husband’s home with respect and affection.
