Phul Shajya (bed of flowers)


In Muslim marriages, this takes place on the night of the wedding.
In Hindu marriages, this takes place on the night of the reception.
Phul Shajya translates into Bed of flowers, literally Decorate with Flowers. For this ceremony the bride wears a lot of floral ornaments and their marriage bed is decorated with flowers by the groom's family. This is the night of
consummation.
