In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationCaturthīkarman (चतुर्थीकर्मन्) refers to a wedding day ceremony performed on the fourth day according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.53.21.—This rite is so named because it is performed on the fourth day after the wedding. It is performed at the house of the bride’s father before the marriage party leaves it. The purpose of this rite is to remove evil influence from the person of the bride which may cause harm to the family.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
Dharmashastra (religious law)
Source: Oxford Academic: Homo Ritualis: Hindu Ritual and Its Significance to Ritual TheoryCaturthīkarma (चतुर्थीकर्म) refers to the “ritual of the fourth day” and represents one of the various marriage rites of the Hindu Newars, mentioned in the Daśakarmavidhi: a marriage handbook from Bhaktapur containing both Hindu and Newar marriage ceremonies.—Despite many congruencies between Hindu Parbatiyā and Hindu Newar marriage handbooks, it becomes evident that Newar marriage handbooks mention specific ritual elements that cannot be found in the Brahmanical-Sanskritic texts.—The Caturthīkarma rite is usually performed at the House of the Groom and is mentioned under the sub-heading of “other marriage rites”.
Dharmashastra (धर्मशास्त्र, dharmaśāstra) contains the instructions (shastra) regarding religious conduct of livelihood (dharma), ceremonies, jurisprudence (study of law) and more. It is categorized as smriti, an important and authoritative selection of books dealing with the Hindu lifestyle.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
