∗ I read gyahe, "grass," in Muhammad Qasim, but Tod, i. 506, speaks of their wearing on such occasions the maur or bridal crown, which is probably much the same thing in other words—John Christian, Behar Proverbs, p. 197, No. 426, tells us that the bridegroom's head-dress "is made of talipot leaves and in some places of date (palm) leaves." That it is sometimes actually made of grass may be inferred from W. Crooke's Tribes and Castes of the N. W. Provinces, ii. 62.
