Indian Wedding Rituals
Tumblr media
Indian routines depend on the bride and groom's culture and caste.The one-week wedding events of the Punjabis vary a lot from Christian wedding events which only last for a couple of hours including the ceremony and the reception.However no matter the distinction in the rituals, all these are aimed at supplying a delighted life for the married couple.Here are some Indian wedding routines that have been handed down from one generation to another.Somewhere along the method, you will acknowledge that even the western world has a few of these customs albeit with a different twist.Pandals are small guest homes that are artistically made from wooden planks, bamboo poles and cloth.The pandal, which is built just after the muhurtakal ritual planting, is embellished with flowers and leaves.The couple looks for the aid and security of Lord Ganesha.In the meantime, the home is filled with merrymaking and the smell of sweets.
The bride-to-be gets an appeal treatment courtesy of ground haldi and chandan.In addition to the chanting of Vedic hymns, the week-long (often 10 days) wedding is identified by the groom's prayers to the Indian gods Indra, Varuna and Brihaspati.Consisted of in the prayers is the wish for a harmonious household life along with fertility for the other half.This Pani-Grahana custom includes the groom grasping the hand of the bride as the bride faces west and the groom deals with the east.Asmarahona or the treading of the stone is that part when the groom invokes that his other half be as company as a rock.On the other hand, the groom pours rice in the hands of his bride during the Lajahoma.They both provide the grains to Lord Agni.This is a marriage routine where the groom and bride circle the fire, asking Lord Agni to unite them.They then continue with the 7 circumambulations to complete the routine.This practice resembles the wearing of the wedding event ring.In an Indian wedding, the groom connects the thread to his other half, who then wears it throughout her life.This is done after the circumambulation of the fire.The auspiciousness thread differ, some use it with diamond pendants while others wear it on black beads with divine being representations.
