Wedding festivities at Kibber, Spiti: the bridegroom garlanded with necklaces of rupees on the second night of his wedding. Photographer: Sutherland, Patrick
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Portrait Photography
'The bridegroom garlanded with necklaces of rupees on the second night of his wedding. Traditionally, some time after the first son gets married, he is given all the land and the family house. His father and mother eventually retire to another house or to an annexe of the family house and devote themselves to religious practice. His brothers will enter the local monastery and be disinherited from the property. The pattern of primogeniture is still the norm in Spiti, but younger brothers are increasingly looking for jobs or educational training rather than becoming monks' (Patrick Sutherland).
