asked le wife. errybody - muslim hindu christian bangalis do the fish thing - its part of one of the wedding ceremonies called gaye holud - which is the equivalent of ubtan in north india. bangladeshis use a more expensive fish - ilish/hilsa, indians use rohu as fresh hilsa is not found any longer, its all imported from bangladesh. if the ceremony is somewhere fish is hard to find, they make do with desserts shaped into the shape of fish.

thanx for the info. had no idea.

btw, what’s the significance and what does it represent?
