Sakharpuda is the Maharashtrian Engagement ceremony. The correct name of the ceremony is "Rupaya Naral - Sakharpuda" It is also known as "Waangnischay" which literally means verbal agreement. ''Sakhar'' means sugar and ''puda'' means a packet and "Naaral" means coconut. "Rupaya" is a coin. In this ceremony, the prospective bridegroom's parents give a packet of sugar to the bride, while the bride's parents give a coconut and coin to the prospective bridegroom. This signifies a solemn promise by both the parents to give their children in marriage to the other. On this occasion some people arrange party in maharastrian style mean shira-bhat or kurma puri etc. This is one of the important ceremony before engagement. Sakhar puda, a pre-wedding ceremony, involves the exchange of a packet of sugar between the families of the prospective bride and groom. However, in the present time, the engagement ceremony is only known as Sakhar Puda, which takes place one or two days before the wedding day. In this ceremony, the groom’s parents present a sari to the bride. This symbolizes that the girl has been accepted in the groom's family. Her hands are accessorized with beautiful green bangles.
