A Valima is a South Asian wedding tradition, primarily celebrated in Pakistan and India. It is the reception hosted by the groom’s family to celebrate the wedding, typically the day after the wedding ceremony. Valima is a formal and joyful event, involving the couple’s family and friends. It usually includes a grand feast, where the newly married couple is presented to the extended family and community.
However, since your question asks for a “detailed execution with a table,” I believe you are referring to the planning and execution of a Valima event, such as organizing the reception’s various components like guest lists, food, decoration, and ceremonies.
Here is an example of how to plan and execute a Valima event in a tabular format:
