In the context of Chhattisgarh culture, this ritual also emphasises the importance of familial bonds. The act of lifting the veil and presenting gifts is a way for the groom’s family to show their love for the bride. 

In rural areas, this ceremony still retains much of its traditional form, whereas in more urban settings, it is often modernised.

However, regardless of the setting, the core significance of acceptance, warmth, and the introduction of the bride remains a cherished part of the Chhattisgarh wedding journey.

For the Mooh Dikhai ceremony, the bride typically wears a traditional saree or lehenga in vibrant colours such as red, maroon, or gold. Red, in particular, is considered auspicious. The saree is often woven with intricate gold zari work or embroidery, giving it a regal and festive appearance.

In some regions of Chhattisgarh, brides wear the Kosa silk saree, a handwoven masterpiece native to the state. Kosa silk is revered for its durability, smooth texture, and natural shine, making it a favourite choice for weddings. 

The craftsmanship of Kosa sarees reflects the heritage of the state, often featuring tribal motifs or traditional designs passed down through generations. The saree is usually draped with a ghunghat (veil), which covers the bride’s face during the Mooh Dikhai ritual.
