Mrs Rupa Mehra's brother, whom the family very rarely met, had earlier in the day taken charge of the bangle ceremony. (p. 14)
The bangle ceremony is one of Indian wedding rituals that often takes place the day before the wedding. During the ceremony, the bride's maternal uncle puts red and white bangles, the churha (also spelled "choora" or "chura"), on the bride's wrists. Then the bride's female friends and relatives tie ornaments of beaten gold and silver, the kalira, to the bangles.
