Sikh Groom Traditions

As part of the wedding ceremony, Jaidev wore a sehra, or veil, until the Granthi, or religious officiant, told him he could take it off. He also carried a sword, one of the five religious symbols, and wore a kara, or steel bracelet, another of the symbols. The kesh, or uncut beard and hair, is also a symbol.
