Hindu Indian Wedding Cermony

Hindu Indian Wedding Cermony

Welcome to the wedding pictures of the wedding of Dinesh Kini and Anupama Nayak. Our traditional GSB Hindu wedding was held on the 28th of January, 2004 at Srinivasa Kalyan Mantap in Bangalore. These pictures are mainly taken by my family.

The pages that you are about to browse have images of the ceremony and the significance of each ritual of the Hindu marriage. It will probably take you a good 30 minutes to go through the pages, not to mention a high-speed Internet connection so I would recommend seeing this in your spare time.

Agni Prathistra

Agni Prathistra - Blessings of the Lord of the Fire The blessing of the God of Fire, Agni are invoked among Hindus. All solemn tites are incomplete without the performance of the Homa . An atmosphere of purity and spirutuality is created by the burning of the fragrant herbs and ghee to the tune of mantras. Fire is considered to be the most sacred because it is the giver of both Light and Energy. Panigrahana and Saptapadi are the fire rituals. Agni Prathistra

The couple are then made to stand close of one another and are covered by a white thread 5 times. The 5 fold thread is divided into 2 parts, one part is tied to the right hand of the groom and the other is tied to the left hand of the bride. This symbolises that both of them have now entered weblock and they must live in peace forever. Next, the bridegroom ties the Mangal Sutra , the matrimonial necklace around the neck of the bride, wishing her a long and happy life. This symbolises the essence of matrimony.
