A barber came next to show them the road, as is requisite in this ceremonial, then after him the newly-married couple, the bridegroom holding the bride's little finger in his closed hand. The line was closed by four or five of the relations \[67\]. In this order they passed round the altar three times, and the last time the newly-married couple made a profound obeisance with joined hands, having turned their backs to the altar and their faces towards the door. The catechist then took the water-vessel and poured the rest of its contents on them, and at the same time they ran to the door of the house and entered. After that one could not find out what went on inside. - [Previous: 281.21.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.281.21.7) - [Next: 281.22.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.281.22.1) - [Up: 281.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.281.21) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.281.21.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.281.21.8) · Pramāṇa
