85-Year Wait Ends: Bihar Family Breaks Superstition, Organizes Groom's Procession

• After 85 years, the Patwa family in Patwa Toli village, Bihar, organized a groom's procession (baraat) for Raju Patwa's wedding.
• The family had stopped organizing processions in 1940 after a tragic incident where Janki Prasad's elder brother passed away during Janki Prasad's childhood wedding.
• For decades, weddings were held quietly, with the bride's family bringing the bride to the groom's house.
• An auspicious sign – the birth of a child two days before Raju's wedding – led to the family's decision to break the superstition.
• The procession on horseback created a joyful atmosphere, with family elders expressing emotion at witnessing the event for the first time.
