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.
