How the pothi opens
The Rajputana Pothi design starts as a closed leather book with a red-and-yellow mauli tied around it. The guest unties the thread, the cover opens, and the pages turn one by one: the Ganesh vandana and a shloka, the invitation from your parents and elders, the bride and groom, each ceremony, and the RSVP.
- Hindi first. Every page is in Hindi, in a Devanagari typeface made for print, with an English switch at the top.
- Music. Sarangi in Raag Maand with morchang, dholak and khartal. It starts when the guest opens the book.
- Maps and calendar. Each ceremony has its venue, a Google Maps button and an add-to-calendar button.
- RSVP on WhatsApp. Guests reply with one tap, straight to the number you choose.
- Photos. Up to 10 photos of the couple.
The Rajput ceremonies, in order
A Rajput wedding has more rasams than most cards have room for. The invitation gives each one its own page:
- Ganpati Sthapna & Ban: Ganesh puja at home and the first ban for the bride and groom.
- Pithi Dastoor: haldi and sandalwood ubtan, with folk songs from the women of the house.
- Mayra (Bhaat): the maternal uncle arrives with gifts and the chunari.
- Mehendi & Sangeet: often with Manganiyar or Langa folk singers.
- Nikasi, Baraat & Toran: the groom rides out in safa and sword, and strikes the toran at the bride's door.
- Phere: the seven rounds of the sacred fire at the muhurat.
- Preetibhoj: the reception feast.
Rename, remove or add any of them. Each one can carry a dress code, like केसरिया or साफ़ा एवं अचकन.
