Dear Anushali, Congratulations on your marriage. Regarding customs in Baniya community, IMO it depends upon the region to which one belongs. I belong to Baniya community and the customs followed are Navratri poojan, Ashmati poojan, Diwlai, Dusshehra, Raksha Bandhan and Saawan fasting and Karwa Chauth. Rest mangalsutra wearing is not necessary. But married ladies apply Bindi, Sindoor, Bangles and sometimes toe rings. And eating Non-veg is not a common practice in most of the Baniya homes. But, as i said earlier, it all depends upon the region and family. All the Best
