Here, we don't think of them as "differences" but as different rivers from the same mountain. A Ladakhi wedding in my village is for the whole *yul*, with barley beer and three days of singing; the monks come, but the laughter is louder than the prayers. My brother married a Tibetan girl from McLeod Ganj, and her family focused more on intricate monastery rituals—beautiful, but less of our village chaos. As for Ambedkarite weddings, a friend in Pune showed me photos—simple, with Dr. Babasaheb's portrait, a political hope in the ceremony itself. For me, the real thing is the *paspun* feast in my field, where my mother counts plates and worries if the *skiu* curry will be enough for everyone.
