Rajasthan's Nagaur district is home to the centuries-old tradition of the Mayra ceremony, a significant cultural event marking the marriage of a sister's child. This ceremony is a display of deep familial affection, where brothers present lavish gifts, cash, and jewelry to their sister during her child's wedding. Known for its grandeur and extravagant gifts, the Mayra ceremony in Nagaur never fails to amaze.
In a recent remarkable event, three brothers from Sadoran village in Nagaur made history with their Mayra offering. Harniwas Khoja, Dayal Khoja, and Harchand Khoja came together to celebrate their sister Birjya Devi's children's wedding in a grand style. The brothers presented a jaw-dropping gift of 1.51 crore rupees in cash, 25 tolas of gold, 5 kilos of silver, and two plots of land in Nagaur city. The total value of this extraordinary Mayra is estimated to exceed three crore rupees.
The brothers' thoughtful gesture during the ceremony included bringing bundles of cash packed in large bags, which quickly became the talk of the town. The grand event saw the attendance of many dignitaries, including former Deputy Chief Whip of Rajasthan Assembly Mahendra Chaudhary, former Zilla Pramukh of Jayal, Ridhkaran Lamrod, and former District Chief of Nagaur, Sunita Chaudhary, along with thousands of guests.
The tradition of Mayra, although unique to Nagaur, is an age-old custom across Rajasthan, symbolizing the strong bond of love between brothers and sisters. It also represents the social unity and cultural richness of Rajasthan. The families of the brothers hosting the Mayra treat the guests with utmost respect and honor, showcasing the deep-rooted values of generosity and family ties.
