Ganesh Puja
A pandit plays a pivotal role in conducting astrological calculations to pinpoint the most propitious date and time for the wedding ceremony.
Pre-Wedding Events
In traditional Indian weddings the main ceremony and reception usually take place on the third day, preceded by two days of pre-wedding celebrations.
Red
In India, red holds deep cultural significance as a symbol of luck and love. The bride and groom usually wear red on their wedding day and red is also used for decorations. Sometimes even a little red dye is put in the brides hair.
Baraat
The groom's arrival is a joyous spectacle at an Indian wedding. Whether in a luxurious car or on a decorated horse, he makes a stylish entrance surrounded by excited wedding guests.
Kanya Aagaman
The bride prepares for her pivotal moment, known as the kanya aagaman. When the time arrives she is escorted down the aisle by her uncle or eldest male relative.
Jai Mala
Depending on cultural traditions the jai mala ceremony unfolds, symbolised by the exchange of flower garlands between the bride and groom. Additionally, the groom presents the bride with a mangal sutra necklace, a special gift from him to her.
Saptapadi
During the saptapadi ceremony, the bride and groom take seven sacred steps together, symbolising their first steps as newlyweds embarking on a lifelong journey together.
Rose Petals
As the ceremonies draw to a close and the couple is officially married, they walk down the aisle, frequently greeted by a shower of rose petals. Instead of a kiss, they show respect for elder family members by refraining from public displays of affection.
Wedding Party
The wedding party is a lively celebration filled with vibrant entertainment, lots of dancing, and delectable food. Guests revel in the joyous atmosphere typically enjoying performances, music, and a variety of delicious dishes.
