Members of the same gotra cannot marry as they are considered brother
and sister, a term known as bhaipana (brotherhood). Members of different
gotras may marry, and this state is known as kai-laageni (can marry).
Traditionally, the jaaths of prospective couples are checked by experts
known as dhadi bhaat who knew the gotra/jaath system and could identify
proper marriages. Nowadays the Banjarpoint website (coded by two Banjara
software engineers) fulfills a similar function with gotra/jaath webpages to
identify which can marry which.In Banjara community marriages will take place
for a week with many celebrations. Like Vadai, saadi thanero, Bhang peyero, Gol
khayero, maand ramadero, Vokaldi dhokayero, Davlokarero, Sagai, etc.
