Wedding Rituals
Devara samaraadhane
Includes rituals performed to seek the blessings of various deities such as Ganapathi, Varuna, the Navagrahas, and the family deity (Kula Devata). The “Naandi” deity, representing the family's ancestors, is also honored to invoke their blessings.
Groom Welcome
Starting from groom's room ( also called Bidadi mane) decor and arrangements, a warm and vibrant welcome will be planned for groom's entry. Garlands, decorated coconut etc and a beautiful floral path will all be arranged. As the groom and his family come walking on the flower path, they inaugurate the ceremony by lighting the lamp.
Vara Pooje
Conducted a day before the wedding ceremony, this event is designed to welcome the bridegroom and his family. When the bridegroom arrives at the wedding venue with his family, friends, and the priest, they are greeted by sumangalis in accordance with Vedic rituals.
Gowri Pooje
As the bridegroom conducts the Samavartana Homa and prepares for the Kashi Yatre, the bride performs the “Gowri Puje” under the guidance of elder women, following tradition. Parvati, the consort of Shiva, attained him after enduring long and rigorous Tapas. In her avatar as Gauri, the bride prays to the Divine Mother, seeking devotion to her husband and the strength to face any challenges that may arise.
Kashi Yatre
Meanwhile, the groom departs for Kashi to pursue higher studies. In response, the bride's parents urge him to remain and lead a virtuous life, accumulate wealth, and satisfy his material desires within the bounds of marriage, alongside a capable partner. The groom consents, accepts the madhuparka from the bride's parents, and returns to the wedding venue.
Dhaare
The groom waits at the flower-decked mantap, shielded from seeing the bride as she arrives, escorted by her maternal uncle amidst mangala vaadya and chanting. At the auspicious moment, the couple exchanges cumin seeds and jaggery, symbolizing their union and the joining of their families. The bride’s father offers her to the groom, who vows to uphold dharma, artha, and kama in their married life, with the Lord as their witness through the five elements.
