What is Hindu Marriage?
A Hindu Marriage (Vivaham, Kalyanam, Vivah) is the samskara that unites the couple through the sacred fire — with kanyadanam, mangalya dharanam, panigrahanam and saptapadi — performed by our pandits as per both families’ traditions.
The heart of every Hindu wedding is the same: the bride is given by her parents (kanyadanam), the couple take the seven steps around the fire (saptapadi), and the groom ties the mangalsutra. Regional customs — jeelakarra bellam, kashi yatra, pheras, sindoor daan — are followed as each family wishes.

Kerala weddings are short — the tali is tied before the lamp, followed by the exchange of garlands and pudava.
Pandits follow Kerala temple traditions, chanting in Sanskrit and explaining in Malayalam. Muhurthams follow the Malayalam (Kollam era) calendar.
