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.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
