Koda Kodi | Photography of a Playful Post-Wedding Ritual

Koda Kodi is a traditional Gujarati game played after Hindu wedding ceremonies to determine who will be the dominant partner in the marriage. The game involves placing a ring in a bowl filled with water, milk, and flower petals. The bride and groom then compete to find the ring first using only one hand. This playful competition is not only entertaining but also serves to break the ice between families and strengthen the bond between the newlyweds.

The origins of Koda Kodi are rooted in Gujarati culture, where such post-wedding games are customary. Traditionally, these games would take place at the groom's home, providing an opportunity for the bride to integrate into her new family environment. Today, Koda Kodi continues to be a cherished ritual, bringing joy and excitement to all participants and symbolizing the harmonious union of two families.
