The specific customs may vary among different sects and regions within the Jain community, but here is a general overview of the Jain marriage process:

Pratikramana (Purification Ceremony): Before the marriage festivities begin, the families of the bride and groom may perform a purification ceremony known as Pratikramana. This ceremony involves seeking forgiveness for any sins or offenses committed and purifying the mind and soul.

Sagai (Engagement): The engagement ceremony marks the formal agreement between the families to unite the couple in marriage. During this ceremony, the elders from both families exchange gifts and blessings. Rings may also be exchanged between the bride and groom.

Lagna Patrika Vachan (Reading of the Wedding Proclamation): A formal proclamation of the wedding, known as Lagna Patrika, is read out loud in the presence of family and friends. This document outlines the date, time, and venue of the wedding and is considered an official announcement of the impending marriage.

Mehendi (Henna Ceremony): Mehendi is a pre-wedding ritual where intricate henna designs are applied to the bride's hands and feet. It is a joyful and festive occasion, often accompanied by music and dance.

Baraat (Groom's Procession): On the wedding day, the groom, accompanied by his family and friends, proceeds to the wedding venue in a procession known as Baraat. The groom is traditionally seated on a decorated horse or elephant.

Jaimala (Exchange of Garlands): The bride and groom exchange floral garlands as a symbol of acceptance and mutual respect.

Kanyavaran (Giving Away the Bride): The father or a male relative of the bride gives her away to the groom during the Kanyavaran ceremony. This symbolic gesture signifies the transfer of responsibility and care from the father to the groom.

Mangal Phere (Circling the Sacred Fire): The couple takes seven rounds around a sacred fire, each round symbolizing a vow and commitment to the principles of Jainism. The seven vows may include promises related to love, loyalty, and mutual support.

Saptapadi (Seven Steps): The couple takes seven steps together, representing the seven principles of a Jain marriage. With each step, they make promises to uphold these principles in their married life.

Sindoor Daan and Mangalsutra Ceremony: The groom applies sindoor (vermilion) on the bride's hair parting, and he presents her with a mangalsutra (sacred necklace), symbolizing her marital status.

Ashirvad (Blessings): The elders of both families bless the newly married couple for a happy and prosperous married life.
