Title EN: The 'al Jertig 'Angaraib' is a wooden bed adorned for the bride and groom to sit on during the wedding ceremony. Traditionally, a red-coloured birish (a rectangular straw mat), is placed on it. Recently, it has been replaced by a red sheet or carpet. The 'Angraib' serves as the groom's throne, signalling the commencement of formalities.
