Bengalis are a passionate and emotional race, proud of their cultural heritage. Their weddings are rich, warm and varied like their culture. Yet their rituals have a certain sombreness and intellectual dignity. Bengali weddings have the right balance of noise, pomp, dignity and ostentation.

A salient feature of their wedding is the blowing of the conch and the Ooli. This is a sound made by the women with their tongues and by beating the palms on the mouth throughout the ceremonies. This symbolically ensures that everybody's attention is drawn to the main ceremony.
