Abstract

＜Research Note＞ Peee-papapaa-don-don, day and night, the blaring performance of drums and brass instruments in the wedding procession resounded across the mountains. This is Bojpur District, Koshi Zone, East Nepal. A large hilly area with an altitude of 6 0 0m to 2 3 0 0m. The wedding procession I attended was for the eldest son of the mayor of the village where the citrus nursery I guide is located. The groom was 1 9 years old and the bride is 1 6 years old. First, about 7 0 men from the groom’s village and the groom came to the bride’s house. In Nepal marriages are arranged between same castes and by parents. After staying at the bride’s house for two nights, various ceremonies were held in splendor at night, and today it is finally time to march with the bride.
