In a traditional Malay wedding, what is the name of the culminating ceremony where the bride and groom sit enthroned on a decorated dais (pelamin) while guests sprinkle them with scented water, rice, and flower petals?

The bersanding (enthronement) ceremony is the visual and social climax of a Malay wedding; the couple is treated like royalty for a day, seated on an elaborately decorated platform while guests approach to offer blessings and take photographs.
