Vivaha is one of Hinduism's most important sacraments (sanskara), as it is regarded as a sacred duty and necessary for the continuation of family lineage. The ceremony is more than just a legal contract; it is a divine union blessed by the Gods. It includes a variety of rituals and traditions that differ by region and community, but the underlying essence remains the same: the union of two souls in harmony and mutual respect.
Rituals
Vivaha rituals may vary depending on regional customs and the families' specific traditions. However, some common rituals are:
- Ganesh Puja: The ceremony begins with a prayer to Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles, for his blessings on a smooth and successful marriage.
- Kanyadaan: The bride's father performs the Kanyadaan ritual, which involves giving his daughter to the groom as a symbol of her transition from her parental home to her marital home.
- Panigrahanam: The groom holds the bride's hand as a symbol of his lifelong commitment to her. They then make vows and promises to each other in front of the sacred fire (Agni), family members, and witnesses.
- Saptapadi (Seven Steps): The couple takes seven symbolic steps around the sacred fire, each representing a promise they make to each other, such as love, loyalty, mutual respect, and support.
- Mangalsutra and Sindoor: The groom ties a mangalsutra (sacred necklace) around the bride's neck to represent her marital status and protection. He also applies sindoor (vermilion) to her hair parting to signify her marital status.
Procedure
- Pre-wedding rituals: Pre-wedding rituals include engagement, mehendi (henna), sangeet (musical evening), and haldi (turmeric ceremony), all of which are joyfully celebrated by both families.
- Wedding Ceremony: Includes rituals such as Ganesh Puja, Kanyadaan, Panigrahanam, Saptapadi, and the exchange of garlands and vows, which are performed by the officiating priest or pundit.
- Post-Wedding Rituals: Following the wedding ceremony, there are usually post-wedding rituals such as Grihapravesh (welcome the bride to her new home), reception, and blessings from elders.
- Feasting and Celebrations: The guests are treated to a grand feast, and the celebrations continue with music, dance, and cultural performances that represent the newlyweds' joy and happiness with their families.
- Blessings and Wishes: The wedding concludes with family members, friends, and well-wishers wishing the couple a happy and prosperous married life.
