"वर" is a Sanskrit word that translates to "bridegroom" in English. It is commonly used in Indian weddings to refer to the groom, who is the male partner in the marriage ceremony. The role of the वर is significant, as he participates in various rituals and traditions that symbolize the union of two families. In Hindu culture, the वर is often adorned in traditional attire, such as a sherwani or dhoti, and may ride a horse or elephant to the wedding venue. The ceremonies typically include the exchange of vows and blessings, emphasizing the importance of love, commitment, and family in the marriage.
