It is widely use in elite Bengali marriage as a main attraction for decorating the TATWA. Sending Tatwa to the family of a bride or bride-groom is an important part in Bengali marriage. The daily necessary utility goods - from utensils to toiletries could be included in Tatwa. Decorating the Tatwa is considered almost a ritual in Bengal.
