But there are other rituals, which are followed at the grooms place and they are pani varna, where the groom's mother performs aarti with a pitcher of water of the newly wedded couple. Among the other customs are like before entering the groom's house the bride knock over a vial of mustard oil or an urn of rice. She enters the house by keeping her right foot first because her first step is considered auspicious. New bride is considered as Goddess Laxmi according to Hindu traditions.
