Buddhist ceremonies are very different from other religions' ceremonies, though they do have some similarities. Buddhist weddings are normally held at the bride's home. The bride wears a dress made of brocade, called a bhaku. On top of the bhaku the bride wears a sleeved blouse called a hanju. The hanju is usually made a fine silk. The bride also wears a special coat, scarf, and heavy jewelry. The groom normally wears a bhaku too, but it is shorter than the bride's bhaku. The groom wears a waistcoat on top of the bhaku, which is called a lajha. The groom wears a cap and sash, too, both made of brocade. Wedding ceremonies are very strict and monks attend to the ceremony saying special prayers and promises. The bride and groom normally stand on a special platform called a purowa and exchange vows, while their right hands are tied together, with a silk scarf, to represent their marriage. A Buddhist funeral is similar to a Buddhist wedding. At a Buddhist funeral, monks attend and chant prayers and verses, and they also say promises. When a Buddhist dies, people believe in reincarnation, hoping that the person that passed away will reach the nirvana.
