Mayra is about maternal families. It happens right after the Grah Shanti puja. The maternal uncle, along with his family, gets gifts in the form of clothes, jewellery, and sweets for the bride, groom and their respective family members, signifying his pledge to share the financial burden of wedding expenditure. The main reason behind this ceremony is that women had no right to their father’s property during ancient times. Their sons inherited wealth, so it used to be the brother’s responsibility to support his sister financially during the niece/nephew’s wedding. This ceremony is an act and pledge for his continued support.
