The same ceremony takes place at the groom's house too, but the groom's sister-in-law gets the water for him to take his ceremonial bath in it. Originally the clay pitcher was filled with water from the well but with evolving times it is now done at the nearest temple. The bride thereafter changes into her wedding attire. The bride then takes a bath in this water right after her Vatna (Haldi) and starts getting ready for her wedding. The Ghara Gharoli ceremony involves the bride's sister-in-law visiting the nearest temple to fill a beautifully decorated clay pot (Gharoli) with holy water and bringing it to the bride.
