[A/N:- The Tilak Ceremony works like an official seal. Rajputs traditionally have their own distinct rituals of marriage. Tilak, or Tika as it's popularly known, is the official engagement ceremony with fewer women. Yes, in this ceremony, men from the bride's side visit the groom's house to apply the Tika/Tilak on the forehead of the groom. It's done by either the brother or the father of the bride. Meanwhile, other male members of the bride's side give the groom presents like a sword, fruits, clothes, silver/gold, money, etc., making the relationship (marriage) official]
