marry for good from the world: Indian wedding I find it extremely interesting to the rituals, the sacredness of every country, every culture, every people expressed in a moment as important as marriage. For many reasons I have always been fascinated by Indian culture and when I saw posted on Style Me Pretty
this Indian wedding, I'm very impressed.
I tried to document a minimum, put your hands on, especially for Indians who knows ... maybe ... might read this post and find errors ...
Marriage is one of the most important ceremonies for the Indians, his pomp symbolizes the family's social status. The festivities begin weeks before, with repeat visits and exchanges of gifts between families.
The day before the wedding the bride's hands and feet are painted with 'henna, with a technique called
Mehendi.
A Mandap, a large gazebo, assembled and decorated with flowers at the place where you celebrate the wedding.
It lit a fire under the Mandap, to witness the vows of the spouses.
begins the long ceremony which will be represented every aspect of future married life.
Comes the Groom in procession, with family and friends and is welcomed by the family of the bride.
begin the rites presided over by the Brahmin priest, invoking God's blessing on the bride and groom.
The bride offers the groom yogurt and honey and exchange garlands of flowers.
The bride's father entrusts her daughter to the groom who promises to assist the girl in the implementation of the three sacred matrimonial purposes, Dharma, Artha, and Kama (the behavior moral, material well-being, earthly pleasures)
Groom repeated three times to the promise.
The priest ties a piece of the Sari of the bride to the groom's shirt in a knot. The couple will exchange
rings and garlands, holding hands and throwing ritual offerings, Samagree, in the sacred fire by invoking blessings on their union.
The bride and groom holding hands walking three times around the sacred fire, chanting prayers for prosperity, luck and fidelity.
It touches at the heart praying for the union of their minds and their hearts.
The entire rite is repeated twice more.
The bride and groom perform together around the sacred fire seven steps and each step they exchange a promise.
When the couple are husband and wife.
