An Indian Hindu
marriage/wedding (Vivah) is a union of two souls (Aatmas). It is not simply a union of
bride and bridegroom and exchange of vows and rings, but start of a bond between two
families and their cultures. During the wedding a number of religious rites are performed
in the presence of family deities to take their blessings..
An Indian marriage/wedding ceremony is not over in just a few hours but lasts for several
joyful and colorful days, unmatched by any other society in the world. The Indian marriage
is attended by a large number of people. Hindu wedding ceremonies are traditionally,
though not always, conducted at least partially in Sanskrit, the language in which most
holy Hindu ceremonies are conducted
Ganesha Pooja:- The start of ceremony is done with the pooja of Lord
Ganesha asking him to make the ceremony run well.
The Tilak, the sacred mark on forehead :- Tilak is a mark of
auspiciousness. It is put on the forehead with sandal paste, sacred ashes or kumkum, a red
turmeric powder. In the wedding, a Kumkum tilak is applied on both the bride's and groom's
forehead. In The Tilak ceremony the brides father applies tilak on the grooms
forehead and offers gifts to him and his family.
Mehendi Ceremony :- While the bridegroom applies it as a token on his
hands, the bride applies it on her hands and feet making intricate patterns. Mehendi
signifies the strength of love in a marriage. It is believed that the darker the mehendi
color, the stronger the love and bond will be between the bride and the bridegroom. This
ceremony generally involves fun & frolic. All the women get Mehendi applied
collectively and sing and dance.
Procession & Reception (Barat & Swagat) : - The groom,
accompanied by his family & friends, goes to the Bride's place in a procession. He
sits on a decorated horse. The bride's parents and other senior members of the family
welcome the groom, his parents & relatives and introduce each other.
The introduction is known as milni. The procession may consists of 100 to thousands of
people, both men and women- mostly close friends & relatives.
The barat, i.e. all the people who come in the procession are garlanded and seated. Cold
drinks, snacks, and sweets are offered. Dinner is also hosted for all the guests (Barati).
All the expenditure of the barat reception, marriage ceremony and the dinner, etc. are
borne by bride's parents in most of the cases. However, the groom's parents give the
dakshina to the pandit (priest) for the marriage ceremony.
Aarti :- The bride's mother welcomes the groom with a garland, applies a
tilak and offers a small sweet piece and pan (beetle leaf). Then the groom steps down from
the horse and is taken to the wedding place.
Garlands Exchange (Jai Mala) :- The bride & groom exchange garlands
of fresh flowers acknowledge their life long bondage in front of all the people. The bride
& groom are then escorted to the mandap (alter) by their parents.
Hathleva (Joining of Hands) :- In this ceremony which is a part of the
wedding ceremony, some henna is put in the right hands of the couple and are tied with a
cloth. The couple pray to the Gods to bless their marriage.The Hathleva signifies an
eternal bond that will join the couple forever. The Hathleva also signifies that although
they are separate individuals, from now onwards they are one in mind and spirit.
The Wedding Ceremony (Vivah, Shaadi) :- During the wedding ceremony the
bride and bridegroom are seated in front of a holy fire. A Pundit conducts the wedding,
performs havan, and recites various religious sayings. In the havan, offerings are made
into the holy fire.
Phere Around Fire :- The Pundit explains to the couple their
responsibilities and duties in their married life towards each other. Hindu religion
believes that fire is a sustainer of life. The couple walks around the fire four times (in
some customs seven times) exchanging vows of their duties.
Kanya Daan :- This is also a part of the wedding ceremony in which the
brides parents entrust their daughter in the safe hands of the groom.
Vidaii :- In this ceremony, after the wedding is over, the brides parents
gives a warm send off to their daughter. They wish her a very good and harmonious long
married life.
