The Jangram community populated in Andra Pradesh is declared as a scheduled caste. It is a priestly class as they preside over the death ceremonies and festivities of the saivite section of Madigas, Malas, and the Sudra castes. The Jangram people take marriage as a sacred step in one's spiritual growth. The wife is regarded as ardhangini, i.e. a part of the husband, meaning 'half of the body'. No ritual can be performed by a man without his wife. Jangram grooms marry within their community. Matches are made by the word of mouth between known people. The grooms wear the South Indian dhoti and a shirt. While the bride wears a sari and is adorned with ornaments. The marriage ceremony is simple and frugal. It has the girl's mama or the maternal uncle carrying the bride on a bamboo basket to the mandap venue. As per the tradition, the bride would carry some betel leaves, a coconut, betel nuts a sandalwood stick with a red pumpkin. A curtain is placed between the bride and groom in the mandap and the groom puts vermillion on the bride's head and the couple take rounds around the holy fire to sanctify their wedding. At the end of the wedding, the father and mother of the bride clean the groom's feet with water. It is done with the view that the groom is symbolic to a God. In the community giving away of daughter in marriage to is considered as gifting the most loved thing to Lord Vishnu himself.
