The Mameru ceremony is an essential Gujarati pre-wedding ritual where the bride receives gifts from her maternal uncle (mama). Traditionally, the gifts include a Panetar saree, jewellery, ivory or white chura (bangles) and a variety of sweets and dry fruits. This ceremony symbolizes the love and support of the bride’s maternal family and adds emotional richness to the wedding celebrations.
