Also called: juron, assamese pre-wedding gift ritual.

Juroon is the Assamese custom of the groom's family reaching out ahead of the wedding with a formal, generous gift exchange — a gesture that both celebrates the upcoming marriage and welcomes the bride into the family before she has even arrived.

In Assamese — অসমীয়াত

বিয়াৰ আগতে দৰাপক্ষই কনেৰ ঘৰলৈ কাপোৰ, গহনা, প্ৰসাধন সামগ্ৰী আৰু দৈ-চিৰাৰ দৰে পৰম্পৰাগত মিঠাই পঠিয়াই দিয়া ৰীতিকে জুৰুন বিয়া বোলে। ই দুয়ো পৰিয়ালৰ মাজত সম্পৰ্ক দৃঢ় কৰাৰ লগতে কনেক পৰিয়াললৈ আদৰণি জনোৱাৰ এটা মধুৰ ৰীতি। সাধাৰণতে বিয়াৰ কেইদিনমান আগতে এই উপহাৰ পঠোৱা হয়।
