Most of the basic ceremonies which we are going to discuss in the following sections. In ancient India, when holding wedding, all families should attend it, including brothers, sisters and direct relative.

Before few days of wedding, priest will go to the bride’s home to make a pray, suggesting that the wedding be hold smoothly.

Usually, the bride and groom are not permitted to meet with each other during this period, because that may bring disaster to their marriage.

What’s more, the bride will wear many golden accessary and jewels. As for the groom, he wears white clothes, and the coat is shirt with golden edge and the pants is baggy. Pre-Wedding Rituals The main wedding ceremony is preceded by two major events. One is the engagement ceremony and the other is the 'Mehendi' or 'Sangeet' ceremony. The engagement ceremony takes place on an auspicious date fixed by the elders of the family after consultation with the priest. As compared to the wedding, this is a small affair which is attended mostly by close family members and friends of the girl and the boy. During this ceremony, the couple exchange wedding rings. It is followed by exchange of sweets between them as well as the members of both families. The occasion concludes with music, dance. 'Mehendi'/'Sangeet' is another fun-filled event that takes place at the bride's house just a day before the actual wedding. On this day, henna (mehendi) is applied on the bride's palms and feet with intricate patterns. Other women attending the occasion also get mehendi done on their hands. This occasion is also celebrated with song, dance and merriment. wedding ceremony The Wedding Day 1.Welcome the Baraat (The arrival of the groom and his family).

Before the ceremony begins, a Ganesh Puja is performed for good luck. Ganesha is the destroyer of all obstacles. The ceremony involves both the bride’s and the groom's primary family members. 4.Call the kanya through the Kanya Aagaman (arrival of the bride). The bride is usually led by her father to the marriage altar, which signifies that the bride’s maternal side approves of the union. The bride and the groom are separated by a white cloth and not allowed to see one another yet. 5.Let the garland speak during the Jai Mala (exchanging of the garlands). Once the bride approaches the mandap, (area where the wedding rituals take place) the white cloth is dropped. The bride and the groom then exchange floral garlands. These garlands are to signify their acceptance of one another. 6.Kanyadaan. At this point in the ritual, the father of the bride pours sacred water in her hand and then places her hand in the groom’s hand. This ritual signifies the father officially giving away his daughter. Then the groom’s sister usually ties the end of his scarf to the bride’s sari with betelnuts, copper coins and rice. These items symbolize unity, prosperity and happiness for the couple. The knot in specific is meant to represent the eternal bond that comes with marriage. 7.Panigharani (Vows). During this ritual, the groom takes his brides hand.

During this ritual the husband accepts his bride and vows to her and her parents that he will take care of and protect his bride for the rest of her life. 8.Do the rounds known as Saptapadi (seven circles around the fire).

Post Wedding Ceremonies in India Out of the many Post Wedding Ceremonies in India, some important ones are Vidaai, Dwar-Rokai, Reception, Griha Pravesh, Mooh Dikhai and Pag Phera. Vidaai In Indian Marriage The ritual of vidaai is marked as one of the most emotional aspect of the wedding festivities. It is the formal departure of the bride from her parents' home. However, just as we know that every ritual in a Hindu wedding has an element of fun to it. During the Vidaai ceremony, the sisters of the bride ask for money from the groom, for the shoes they had stolen, prior to when the wedding rituals started in the mandap. After much argument (in a good sense), the sisters are presented with either gold/silver ring or cash money. Thereafter, the bride finally takes steps ahead, leaving her house and embracing her friends and family members. According to the Hindu tradition, as the bride steps out of the house, she throws back five handfuls of rice over her head, in a way that it falls on the person standing behind her, as a symbol of prosperity and wealth. The custom of throwing rice signifies that the bride is paying back or returning, whatever her parents have given her in all these years of her stay with them and wishes for prosperity to always flourish in the house she is leaving behind. Just when the bride and the groom sit in the car and its starts, the bride's brothers and cousins pushes the car from behind, signifying that they have given her a push ahead to start a new life with her husband. After the last car starts, money is thrown on the road to discard the evil. Mostly younger sister accompanies the bride to her new home to give her moral support. Dwar Rokai Ceremony Dwar Rokka ceremony is largely performed in the north Indian weddings. It is an important ceremony as per traditional Indian wedding rituals. Dwar rokai ceremony is held when newly wed couple arrives at groom's home. All the relatives offer couple a warm welcome but the groom's sister doesn't allow them to enter at home. She will only allow the couple to enter at home after getting some gifts or cash from her brother. After that, the couple gives her attractive gift and makes way for going to home. Griha Pravesh Ceremony At the groom's house, everyone is standing at the entrance of home, particularly the ladies, to welcome wholeheartedly the newly married couple. When the bride and groom arrive at the home, the ladies perform the ceremony of 'Griha Pravesh' for the bride. In the north Indian wedding, the Griha Pravesh ceremony maintains a huge significance. In fact, it is the traditional Indian way of welcoming the newly wed bride. Griha Pravesh Ceremony During the Griha Pravesh ceremony, bride pushes a jar or kalash containing rice by her right toe at the entrance. After that, she enters within the house by stepping her right leg first. The ceremony of Griha Pravesh illustrates that the family of groom has welcomed the bride from the bottom of the heart and accepted her as one of the integral member of their family. At some places in India, the bride also tells her husband name at the entrance and then enters to the home. Hence, the post-wedding Griha Pravesh ceremony is the medium in which the bride puts first step at her in-laws and starts a new passage in her life. Mooh Dikhai Ceremony Mooh Dikhai is one of the traditional post-wedding ceremonies held in many parts of the country. The mother-in-law, in particular, offers amazing gifts to the bride as the gesture of welcoming her. The other relatives of groom family also present some attractive gifts to the bride. Some of the Mooh Dikhai gifts can be gold or diamond jewelry, sari or cash. In India, presenting the gifts to new bride at this ceremony is considered as 'Shagun' that ought to be offered to her by the family of groom. Pag Phera Ceremony One of the most important post-wedding ceremonies is Pag phera. It is being followed in all types of Indian weddings. During the Pag Phera ceremony, the bride has to stay at her parental home for two or three days. But before that, the bride's brother generally comes to take back her to his home. When the ceremony ends, the groom come for taking her better half and seeks blessings from her parents. On the other hand, the bride's parents offer some attractive gifts to their daughter and son-in-law in the name of shagun as this is her first visit to parental home after the big eventeyn红软基地
