Re: dulha's baree
The odd number thing is to ward off the evil eye or so they say. We never gave anything to my husband and neither did he want it. But usually 7-11 outfits are given to the Dulhas. Mostly western wear but a shalwar kameez or 2 are added unless the Dulha specifies that he doesn't wear that. A shaving set is also added as someone mentioned above. Some people do give cash in lieu of Barri so teh Dulha can shop for himself.
Tabeebah, the sword thing is so cute!!!
