With the Rajasthan government capping the number of guests at weddings to 50 people amid the COVID-19 pandemic, staff of Buhana Police Station in Jhunjhunu district carried a pre-wedding procession 'Bindori' of a woman constable posted at the station.
The pre-wedding procession of Sonia took place on Sunday where her colleagues played the role of her family. In 'Bindori', the would-be bride sits in a 'baggi' or rath and visits a nearby temple to take blessings and her family members walk alongside.
"My colleagues played the role of my family and took out the 'Bindori' by following the coronavirus guidelines. I really liked it and it is a good example for the women in the society," Sonia, the would-be bride, told ANI.
