English translation:Group of women who go to the bride's home on the night before the wedding night
Explanation:
Actually the term وراڅۍ or وراځۍ is used for the group of women who go to the bride's home one night before the night of wedding. They put nakreeze/hana on the bride's hands and feet, and make kind of happiness and traditional music program. The word is used in the first form وراڅۍ in our region, and it is a very important act to honor the bride. As I know the term وراڅۍ is related to the term ورا or جنج where a big group of men and women go together with groom to the bride's house and they bring the bride to the groom's home.
