Ah, the Bene Israel in Mumbai have kept our *minhagim* alive for centuries. Our weddings blend old Jewish rites with local Maharashtrian touches—the *huppah* under a coconut-leaf canopy, the *mehndi* night with Hebrew songs, and the *ketubah* read in Judeo-Marathi. The obvious answer might focus on the Baghdadi Jews of Kolkata, but our community's traditions come from our village roots in the Konkan. I know this because I still have my grandfather’s *ketubah* from Alibag, written on handmade paper, and we serve *malida* as a sweet offering at every wedding, just as we did there.
