Bengali matrimony, Its Origin, Ritual & Culture

Before discussing about Bengali matrimony one should know first about origin of Bengali community, Bengali culture and Bengali rituals.

If we look back 20000 years ago the indigenous population of Bengal consists of tribes like Kola, Bhil, Santhal, Shabara, and Pulinda.

Ancient Bengal: Bengali civilization almost 4000 years old which is thrives in the river Ganges and Brahmapurtra and this civilization sustain itself on the Ganges delta. The oldest civilization found in Mahasthangarh in Bangladesh ( 700 BCE) which is more or less similar time of Vedic age, but the culture & ethnicity is different from Vedic culture. So people of Bengal was referred as demons.

Greek King Alexander invaded India ( 300 BC ) and defeated porus. But he was defeated by Gangaridi worries. Gangaridi worries whose king was Xandrammes, and he force to retreat Alexander from delta region of River Ganges.

Mention In Mahabharat:

The Mahabharata mentions Bengali kings Chitrasena and Sanudrasena, who were defeated by Pandav king Bhima. It also talks about a folklore that Bhima was injured by a poisoned arrow and he came to the southern most parts of Bengal, called Patratal, to heal. The southern most parts of Bengal indicates towards the mangrove lands of the Sundarbans.
