Nomadic wedding in Sangerwani Pulwama, India - 4 Jul 2024

A Gujjar (nomad) groom rides a horse through a stream to reach his bride's home during the marriage ceremony at Sangerwani village in Pulwama district, 75 km south of Srinagar, the summer capital of the Himalayan region of Kashmir. Despite the exponential development of automobiles, some nomadic tribes still use horses and palanquins for weddings. A new study conducted by the Tribal Research and Cultural Foundation, a frontal organization of the Gujjar (nomadic) community, reveals that 88 percent of Gujjars (nomads) in Jammu and Kashmir spend up to 600 U.S. dollars on a marriage ceremony, and 89 percent of Gujjars (nomads) arrange the first marriage of their children at the age of 14 to 18. Around 72 percent of girls got engaged to relative boys at the time of birth or at the age of 6. Around 99.3 percent of Gujjars (nomads) in Jammu and Kashmir state are Muslims, the study said. The pastoral community of Gujjars (nomads), an ethnic group mostly in Jammu and Kashmir, India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, has a unique culture. They speak a different language, Gujjari, than others living in the region. The 2011 Indian census puts the Gujjar (nomad) population at nearly 1.5 million, comprising 11.9 percent of the state's total population and making them the most populous scheduled tribe in Jammu and Kashmir.
