Will the wedding ceremony be for 4 days or just an one day affair?

Ok Lashy dear, Koschun time!

Will there be sindoor and mangalsutra sequence in the shaadi? I hope so!

Sindoor is THE most important part of a Rajput wedding...

There is no concept of Mangalsutra...

Maybe there is today... but I researched on this and couldn't find anything to support the claim that a Mangalsutra was used in 17th c amongst Rajputs...

The texts about social life/weddings amongst Rajputs in Medieval India talk of Haldi, Tilak (engagement) the sword presentation, the gifts, baraat, the phere and sindoor. Everything else is a modern addition.

Instead of mangalsutra, it is the Borla (the round teeka on forehead), Sindoor, toe rings and the round nosering that signifies a married woman for them.

Both Jodhas (in serial and the movie have got it spot on!)

There are so many scenarios going through my mind! Heera will have her eyes down but AMK will get to have a closer look after a long time while putting on the sindoor or mangalsutra! And the feelings tugging at his heart, that gnawing that will be eating him up! Only if she looks up once! But the others will not see or notice anything because this man is the master if masking his emotions! I will see it, don't worry! 😆

Hey Raam!😆

Another koschun...I know Heera belongs to royalty with Maharaj kaka at their beck and call but does she know how to cook? If in future when AMK comes back from one of his long secretive trip middle of the night and Heera sees the light in his room and decides to stir up something for him, will she be able to do it? Let her feelings be like Jodha in the aarti scene, where even unwillingly she gives the aarti to Jalal (One of my favorite and best scene), even if Heera unwillingly takes the dish to him, I want to know if at all this is possible! I know AMK can play a game if he wants to without any cheesy dialogues but that scene can be an awesome electrifying scene! "Why did you bother Heera?" Ok, let me stop here! 😆

Author sahiba, answer please!

I am not going to answer this in detail lest I give parts of the story away, but amongst royalty, the mistress of the household would not cook. Now, she would know HOW to cook.. she would know exactly what's going on in the kitchen... decide the menu etc... but she wouldn't cook - definitely not in the middle of the night...

A house that can hold 100 people (currently about 300 staying there) would have one main chef (Maharaj) plus at least 5-6 assistant cooks...

and they literally sleep/live in or nearby the kitchens. If anyone needs even a glass of milk warmed at night, they would be the ones to do it for you..

Why royal ladies were trained to cook - was more for an 'in case' scenario... if the kings/nobles lost their homes, had to run into exile... then, their wives would have to know how to fend for their husbands, right? That's why...

As for this story, Heera can cook - but she's no expert... since she's always had someone do it for her... her services have always been far more valuable elsewhere! 😃

But I know what you're trying to ask - and for that, I'd say 'W&W' 😆
