Abstract:
The implementation of Hindu marriage ceremonies is through several processes. In the process of the ceremony there is a so-called makunyit keladi. This ceremony is held at the time of pamitan and majauman, which is a meeting of the bride and groom where the family of the man goes to the woman's house based on the agreed time. This makunyit keladi tradition uses a tool called wakul. The wakul contains turmeric, keladi and other completeness elements. In the process, the bride and groom are met face to face. Activities are guided by performers from the women's side. The essence of the implementation of this ceremony is to present a new agreement that the bride is socio-religiously beautiful in status, enters the male family. This transfer of status is important for all parties to know because it relates to obligations that will be imposed after marriage. Women immediately after the event was declared legal to move to the men's side completely. Whatever the social and religious obligations and rights are completely transferred to the men.
