Engagement ceremony is almost celebrated in the same manner in almost all the religions except for certain variations according to their community and family rituals. Generally, the engagement ceremony is organized at the bride groom's place or some banquet hall. The family and relative of bride and groom gather to celebrate the first formal party of the forth coming wedding ceremony. Both the families exchange gifts, sweets and good wishes.

A formal ring ceremony is then done to solemnize the engagement ceremony. The prospective bride and groom are then introduced to each other's family. A lunch or a dinner (depending up on the time of function) is organized for all the family members and guests present at the ceremony. The most important ritual in engagement function is the exchange of 'tattu' i.e. 'engagement plate' which consists of coconut, flowers, turmeric, beetle nuts and beetle leaves.
