Hindu wedding is the celebration of love, culture, and tradition. I am sharing here some of the rituals and traditions of the Hindu wedding ceremony.
- Before the wedding, there is a ritual to determine a specific date for the wedding which is called muhurta. An astrologer calculates the date by reading the bride and groom's dates of birth.
- Then some parties are arranged like sangeet where family member join and enjoy the music.
- Then there is Mehendi ceremony in which mehndi is applied to the bride and groom's hand.
- Then a mandap is constructed with fire at the center. Both bride and groom take 7 steps around the fire.
- Groom then apply Sindoor to the bride's hair and then wear her a necklace called mangal sutra.
- Then Vidai ceremony and reception ceremony are held.
