A newly wed Bengali bride performing a traditional Bengali ritual called Kolabou Snan on Shaptami morning Durga Puja 2011.

The traditional costume along with the ornaments represents a quintessential Bengali bride steeped deep into our culture and tradition. During this ritual, the newly wed Bengali bride is given responsibility to bathe a Banana tree in the waters of the Holy Ganges and carry a green coconut by first dipping it in the Ganges and followed by carrying it in a pot on their heads.
