Okhli, traditional game, Indian wedding
Okhli is a Kannada wedding game that takes place in the groom`s house.

In some Kannada weddings, a game called Okhli is generally played with the groom`s wedding ring dipped in a vessel containing colored water. The bride and her brother search for the ring three times unless it is found.

Okhli is played after this ritual. The groom`s ring is dipped in the colored water and the bride and her brothers have to search for it after the ring is moved vigorously in the water.
