Hindu Wedding Ceremony at Bride's Place

Hindu Wedding Ceremony at Bride's Place




The wedding ceremony is the most important part of the Hindu marriage as it is when the marrying partners actually make their vows to one another and become a married couple. A wedding is the uniting of two people, bride and groom, as life partners to live together. Wedding or marriage is the sharing of everything, someone to be close to, to be trustworthy in dealings and secrets of life. Marriage ceremony mostly takes place at the residence, city or town of the bride.



Normally a huge tent is erected outside the house with carpets, chairs and tables. The seating arrangement is superb for the comforts of baraat. Indian music and 'shehnai', one of the oldest Indian musical instruments, resounds the air. The whole arena is decorated with buntings, flowers, etc. If night time, lightings are added all around to illuminate the bride's building and the tent arena. The adjoining parts of the streets are also given uplift to give a festive look.

The Mandap for the religious ceremonies is either erected inside the residence or a prominent part of the tent. It is normally in the tent to give more space to all the people assembled there to participate in the religious ceremonies that will follow in the mandap. Mandaps are extensively explained in later parts of this article.
