Choosing the Perfect Wedding Sword for the Baraat

The wedding sword is the crowning symbol of a groom's entry β€” the moment the baraat sees him as a raja for the day. Choosing the right one blends aesthetics, comfort and meaning.

Length and weight. For carrying and photographs, a 36–40 inch sword with a balanced 1.2–1.4 kg weight looks majestic without tiring the arm during long ceremonies.

Hilt finish. Gold-plated brass with engraved motifs photographs beautifully against sherwanis. Peacock and lion pommels are perennial favourites among Rajput and Punjabi families.

Scabbard. A velvet-and-brass scabbard adds richness and protects the blade. Choose a colour that complements the wedding palette.

Presentation. A wooden gift box elevates the sword into a keepsake that many families pass down as an heirloom.

Our ceremonial collection is crafted specifically for weddings β€” regal, safe to carry, and delivered gift-ready across India.
