Weddings in India express the celebration of social commitment of two families. They promise that they will help each other and they will stand united as one family. Did you believe that these are the vows that only brides and grooms undertake? Well, welcome to the concept of Indian weddings.
An Indian wedding is full of life and is magnified with usage of bright colors and elaborative functions that commence at least 7 days before the wedding. Since India is a country of diversified cultures and religious ethnicities the wedding rituals and ceremonies also show variations. But a traditional Indian wedding will always have these five basic stages:
- A musical bash (called ladies sangeet)
- Mehndi (where mehndi or henna is applied on hands and feet of the bride, and in some communities even to the groom)
- The wedding day
- Vidaii or the ritual or sending the bride by her parents and family with the groom after marriage
- The reception party by the groom
Music adds the soul to every ceremony in an Indian wedding, especially the ones sung as the bride leaves her home in the palanquin for good.
