If you haven’t been to any Indian Wedding then you are missing some really worth enjoying ceremony.
Indian Weddings are considered to be one of the traditional, colorful and joyful ceremonies. These weddings are dependent on the course of multi-day events. There are mainly three phases pre-wedding, actual wedding day and post-wedding traditional affairs.
None other marriage ceremonies are colorful and fun filled as Indian weddings. Both groom and bride sides participate in every function with full enthusiasm and interest. All arrangements are made as per the traditional values and serious concern is given to “the right time to get married”-precisely by the Pandit. Pandit matches the stars signs (horoscopes) of both the bride and groom and concludes a date and time for the wedding-named as “Shub Mourakh”.
The most prominent event is when a henna (Mehndi) is applied on Bride’s hands and arms. It is believed the more darken the color of henna gets the more loving her groom will be. On the day of Mehndi, Bride’s family and friends celebrate the night by performing dances, not to forget the food on Indian Wedding are mouthwatering and makes you eat more than you want because of its delicious and scrumptious taste.
Another notable and the most important factor of an Indian Wedding is a “Mangalsutra”, the groom tied it around the bride’s neck which means that they both will bond their souls for the rest of their lives. It’s more of an oath that is taken in front of the families, Pandit and the God-that too in the Mandap.
Mandap (wedding arena) is where the actual ceremony of the wedding takes place. The Mandap is prepared by the Bride’s side, parents and brothers put in all the efforts to get the best arrangements and by God’s will everything turns out to be good in the end.
