Wedding rituals at a Hindu wedding

Hindu weddings are vibrant, intricately planned, culture-rich festivities full of celebration and tradition. While the very essence of a Hindu wedding ceremony is the physical, spiritual, and emotional union of two people; it's also about the coming together of two families through prayer and celebration. A Hindu wedding lies somewhere between the couple’s expectations while blending their family traditions. "With many rituals and mini ceremonies leading to the main ceremony day, it binds the couple and both families for eternity."

Wedding rituals at a Hindu wedding:-

  • The Bride's Hands and Feet Are Adorned With Henna-Mehndi.

  • The Groom's Arrival Is a Celebration in Itself.

  • The Father of the Bride Gives Her Away-Kanyadaan.

  • The Couple Weds Under a Mandap.

  • Wedding Rituals Begin With a Prayer to Ganesha.

  • The Couple Exchanges Floral Garlands.

  • The Bride Is Adorned With the Mangala Sutra.

  • The Bride and Groom's Garments Are Tied Together-Saptapadi.

  • The Newlyweds Shower Each Other With Rice.

  • Red Powder Is Applied to the Bride's Hair, Signifying She Is Married-Sindoor.

  • The Couple's Sendoff Is an Emotional Ceremony.
