4. “Some four or six months after the betrothal arrangements for the wedding are set on foot. The boy’s father takes a present of clothes, a sheet (sâri), a petticoat, and a corset for the girl, who at once puts them on. Her father, if well off, kills a buffalo, if poor, a goat, and gives a feast to all the village, and to the boy’s father and all his friends. On this occasion a Brâhman is called in, and on receipt of four annas from each father, fixes some auspicious day for the wedding. Half the amount previously fixed upon is now paid to the girl’s father in cash, and the remainder in kind, in the shape of a bullock, etc. On the day fixed by the Brâhman for the wedding, the boy, after being well anointed with pît, a mixture of turmeric, flour, etc., proceeds to the girl’s house, accompanied by all his friends and relations. They halt at the borders of the village, whither the girl’s father, with all his friends, and accompanied by drummers and women singing, proceeds to meet them; and after performing the ceremony of tilak, that is marking the boy on the forehead with saffron, escorts them into the village, and settles them down under some large tree or in some other convenient spot. The girl’s father then returns to his house, and the boy’s father pays certain customary dues. 5. “On the evening of the wedding day a great feast is given by the bride’s father; and the bride and bridegroom are provided with a separate hut for the night, while their friends get drunk. Next morning the bride’s father presents his daughter with a bullock or a cow, or with any other worldly goods with which he may wish to endow her, and after presenting the boy’s father with a turban gives him leave to depart. [Funeral rites.] 6. “The following are the ceremonies said to be performed by the Bhîls on occasions of death. When a man dies a natural death, his corpse is covered with white cloths, and a supply of food in the shape of flour, clarified butter and sugar, uncooked (called sâra), is placed by his side for use on his journey to the next world. They are afterwards thrown into the water by the side of which he is burnt. A small copper coin is also thrown on the ground when the corpse is burnt, apparently as a sort of fee for the use of the ground for the purpose. Three days after the body has been burnt, the ashes are thrown into the water, and a cairn is raised on the spot by the people present, who wring out their clothes over the stones after bathing. On the twelfth day after death, all friends, far and near, assemble for the kâta or mortuary feast, for which the heir of the deceased, if well-to-do in the world, will have provided some two hundred rupees worth of spirits. In the morning the ceremony of the arad is commenced, and lasts generally throughout the day.
