hindu wedding ceremony tradition

Indian weddings are customarily multi-day undertakings, and include numerous unpredictable services, for example, the work of art of the hands and feet of the lady of the hour called a mehndi. Laurels are exhibited to visitors of respect rather than corsages, and loads of blossom or flower petals are tossed for good fortunes. 

The wedding is normally separated into three sections: pre-wedding, primary, and post-wedding. The pre-wedding incorporates every one of the arrangements and a gathering the prior night where each side of the family can meet each other and move and have some good times. A Pandit, who has chosen the day of the wedding in light of the lady of the hour and prepare's horoscopes, leads a supplication with relatives to give the couple a joyfully wedded life. 

The wedding sacrificial table (mandapa) is constructed the day of and the prepare is invited by his future relative where his feet are then washed and he is offered drain and nectar. His sister in law will endeavor to take his shoes and in the event that she succeeds, the prepare must pay her to get them back. An Indian prepare ordinarily wears a turban with a cloak of blooms to shield him from malevolence spirits. 

The guardians give the lady away, yet they don't eat before the wedding to stay immaculate for the event. The lady of the hour's saree is attached to the prep's scarf to symbolize the union of the souls. Amid a comparable service, a rope is tied around the couple's necks to shield them from underhandedness and they are commonly tied by seniors of the lady of the hour and prepare. 

In Indian weddings, the Mangala Sutra is tied around the lady of the hour's neck as opposed to trading rings. The mangala sutra is a line with two gold pendants and is tied in three bunches by the prep to symbolize the holding of the two souls for a long time. This jewelry tells others that the lady is hitched. 

One fun service is called mangal pheras. This is the point at which the lady of the hour and prep circle the hallowed fire four times to speak to dharma, artha, kama, and moksha and they raced to their seats—whoever arrives first will administer the family unit.
