What is bindori?
Also called: groom's procession (Marwari).
Bindori extends the groom's procession into a genuine community event — riding through familiar streets, visiting temples along the way, before the formal baraat arrival at the wedding venue itself.
In Marwari — मारवाड़ी में
बिंदोरी मारवाड़ी ब्याव री एक रीत है जिणमें दुल्हो ब्याव रा लत्ता पैरणे सजी-धजी घोड़ी या गाड़ी माथै बैठकर सारा गांव-शहर में घूमै, अर रस्ते में मंदिरां पर दरसण करण जावै। आ जुलूस असल बरात सूं पैली निकळै अर परिवार, दोस्त अर आस-पड़ोस रा लोग भी साथै चालै, जद तांई दुल्हो ब्याव रे थान माथै नीं पूगै - मानो असली बरात सूं पैली गांव आखा नै साथै लेकै चालण वाळो एक बड़ो जुलूस।

How is bindori different from a baraat?
Bindori is typically a more extended procession through the town, often including temple visits, that happens before the formal baraat arrival at the wedding venue — think of it as a preceding, community-facing extension of the groom's journey rather than a replacement for the baraat itself.
Does bindori always include temple visits?
It is common, though the exact route and stops vary by family and location.
