Sunderji, thanks.
Indeed I was referring to kasi yatra.
What I wanted to know was whether this practice is prevalent in all marriage ceremonies where the bride is given as a dAn-- throughout our country.
Also how I can access the bharatvarsha site. I keep getting a 'forbidden' notice every time I try to log in!
I am a bhAratvAja myself but I was referring to the kind of banns they are announcing just before the main function starts--loudly proclaiming the gotra-pravaras of both the bride and the groom. I have heard this being recited up to three generations only. I wanted to know whether it was being recalled up to seven generations.
Thanks for your response.
