When one thinks of a baraat or a wedding procession, one often imagines guests dancing to the beats of celebratory music as they walk towards the wedding venue. However, a family in Punjab took out their baraat on a fleet of 12 tractors.

A video of this unique wedding procession is going viral after it was posted online by a Twitter user Sudhir Kumar (@sudhir1544) on March 7. According to the tweet, the wedding took place in the family that runs the dealership of Swaraj Tractors in Panjab’s Sangrur.

This is not the only time when weddings have involved tractors. In June last year, Bharti Targe from Madhya Pradesh came to her wedding venue on a tractor. A video of this unconventional bride’s entry went viral on social media.

In December 2020, Sumit Dhull from Karnal ditched his luxury car behind and drove a tractor to his wedding to show support for the farmers’ protest against the now-scrapped farm laws.
