Milni is a traditional ceremony in Indian weddings, particularly in Punjabi culture. It typically takes place before the main wedding ceremony and involves the families of the bride and groom coming together. During Milni, the male relatives of both families greet each other, often exchanging garlands and gifts as a symbol of unity and acceptance. The ceremony is significant as it marks the formal introduction of the two families and sets a positive tone for the wedding celebrations. Milni emphasizes the importance of family bonds and mutual respect, reinforcing the idea that marriage is not just a union of two individuals but also of their families.
