Its called Chaadar chadhana...that is putting a sheet over the widow's head by the guy to accept her as his wife.It seems to be a custom in Gujrat too, as in the TV show Gulal they showed the same thinghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulaal_(TV_series)"deeyarvattu" a system where a widow marries her husband's younger brother.
Ek Chaddar Maili Si was based on Chaddar Chadhana...
