This Gujarati family went digital for a ‘roka’ ceremony.

The family used the key feature of this day and age: Video Calling. Since the future bride and groom weren’t physically present at the ceremony, the family video called them and performed the ceremony.

The one-minute clip has left social media in splits.

The video, which is doing the rounds on instant messaging apps, shows a Gujarati family conducting the ceremony with two mobile phones kept on wooden stools.

Gifts like jewellery and other ceremony-related items are placed next to the phones.

One mobile phone has a teeka on it while the other one, which shows the future bride, was covered with a traditional dupatta.

The priest and family members were seen gathering near the stools to bless the couple, while others take photos and videos of the ceremony.
