Pallu #2

Pallu #2, originally uploaded by jigarchamp.

From a Sikh wedding ceremony when the groom leads his new bride around the Guru Granth Sahib. I still find this to be so meaningful since both the bride and groom hold their ends rather than being tied together. Even though I don't know the exact history behind this, I see this as a sign that the couple are entering their marriage fully of their own will...that they could conceivable just drop their end of the pallu, but they're committed.
