As the new bride is considered the avatar of Goddess Laxmi, the new family takes her feet imprints. The bride dips her feet in vermilion water and walks on the white cloth. This is considered one of the most important rituals.
We have made a humble attempt to glorify and preserve this tradition forever, in a traditional way.
DETAILS IN DETAIL: This Platter has a plain white circular disc of 12 inches which is wrapped in white cloth, the total diameter of the platter is 16 inches. The backside is a flat disc of 14 inches basal diameter wrapped in our house woven fabric.
If you already have a fabric with the kanku pagla imprinted on it in the ceremony, we can help you make this a forever memory on the platter. You can send the piece of fabric to us via courier to our production facility and we can make this platter. Please get in touch with us on +91 9978814653 for further details.
The Platter has a small loop made using silk chandan thread, which is small enough to not be visible but strong enough to hold the entire Platter when hung on a wall as decor. Flat on a surface or suspended on a wall, this Platter is ultra versatile.
The pictures and videos are shot using Iphone 13 Pro and have undergone no post-processing edits to make sure that you have an exact perception of the IBHI.
What is the Kumkum Pagla Ritual?
In India, taking an impression of the bride's footprints (Kumkum Pagla or Lakshmi Pagla) is a deeply symbolic and auspicious ritual, rooted in cultural and religious traditions. Here’s why it is done:
1. Symbol of Goddess Lakshmi
- In Hindu culture, a newlywed bride is considered a manifestation of Goddess Lakshmi, the deity of wealth, prosperity, and good fortune.
- Her arrival into her new home is believed to bring blessings, happiness, and prosperity.
- The red footprints (made with kumkum, sindoor, or alta) symbolize Lakshmi’s divine entry into the household.
2. Mark of Auspicious Beginnings
- The first steps of the bride into her husband's home are seen as a sacred transition from her parental home to her new family.
- It signifies the beginning of a new chapter, filled with positivity, harmony, and togetherness.
3. Strengthening Family Bonds
- The ritual fosters a sense of acceptance, love, and warmth, symbolizing the family's embrace of the new bride.
- It marks her integration into the household and reinforces her role in shaping the family’s future.
4. Traditional Rituals & Regional Variations
- The Pagla Pheras or Agnisakshi ceremonies in many Indian cultures involve the bride walking on a cloth with kumkum, leaving her footprints behind.
- In Bengali, Gujarati, and Marwari weddings, the bride steps into a plate filled with kumkum water or milk before entering the home.
- In South Indian traditions, turmeric and kumkum are often used to create the footprint impression.
5. Emotional and Spiritual Connection
- The footprints serve as a keepsake for families, symbolizing love and cherished memories.
- Some even preserve these footprints on fabric, wood, or metal plates as a blessing for future generations.
This beautiful ritual reflects respect for traditions, devotion, and the sacred role of a bride in the family’s well-being.
