Engagement
The engagement is the first of many steps in what tends to be a lengthy process, and serves as the agreement between the families of the future bride and groom. At this stage, the wedding date is also set. The wedding rituals themselves begin 15 days before the wedding, with Barni Band-hwana, where a piece of thread, called Mauli, is tied to the hands of both the groom and his parents to humbly request a safe wedding day from the gods.
Traditional Wedding
As one of the world’s most religiously and ethnically diverse lands, India boasts unique, culturally rich wedding ceremonies that run from elegant and sophisticated to beautifully intricate. Part of the complexity stems from the concept that when an Indian couple marries, entire families and communities are involved.“Indian weddings have traditionally been considered a marriage of two families, rather than just a marriage of the bride and groom.” Glamorous Event Planners & Productions, a wedding and event-planning firm based in Long Island. “The wedding can be anywhere from three days to one week long and typically includes several events.
Hindu ritual wedding
Hindu weddings take place outside under a canopy known as a Mandap, but if the Mandap cannot be placed outdoors, it is built inside. Each of the four pillars of the bridal canopy represents one of the four parents.Both sets of parents and any siblings stand up at the Mandap during the ceremony. Since the father is already at the altar, it is often the bride’s maternal uncle who escorts her down the aisle. The bride’s brother also plays a role in the ceremony. He places rice in the hands of the bride and groom, and they, in turn, throw it into the ceremonial fire pit.“The officiant, bride, groom, and bride’s parents sit beneath the Mandap,” says Sunita, who describes the Mandap as beautifully decorated towers or pipes enhanced with curtains, fabric, and flowers.Front and center under the Mandap is the sacred fire. The fire can be small and confined to a brazier or dish for safety. “Agni,” the god of fire, is said to sustain life and thus gives life to the marriage.
