Indian weddings usually last 3 days and include many important ceremonies which finish with the wedding ceremony and reception on the final day. If you’ll be attending an Indian wedding soon, here are some of the ins and outs of an Indian wedding ceremony you can look forward to experiencing.
Mehendi Ceremony
Prior to the wedding, in
the company of female family and friends, the hands and feet of the bride and
her guests are beautifully decorated with intricate traditional henna designs.
Beautiful Indian Outfits
You can look forward to
multiple stunning outfits to be worn by the bride and groom. Colour is very
important in Indian culture, with each colour being worn at certain ceremonies
because they have their own symbolic meaning. Many brides will wear red saris
on their wedding day because it is considered an auspicious symbol of new
beginnings.
A Bride and Groom’s Grand Entrance
The bride and groom who
are lavishly dressed in Indian attire arrive separately and great attention is
paid to their “big reveal” with elaborate fanfare and excitement.
Mangal Phere
The Mangal Phere, also
known as Mangal Fera, is a wedding ceremony that represents the four goals and
stages of life. The newlyweds walk in four “pheres” (cirlcles) around the
sacred Agni (fire), with each completed circle representing a promise to each
other.
1) Dharma: The pursuit of
life’s moral and religious duties.
2) Artha: The pursuit of
prosperity.
3) Kama: The pursuit of
earthly pleasures and delights.
4) Moksha: The pursuit of
spiritual salvation.
The bride leads the groom
for the first three circles and the groom leads the fourth. Once completed, the
couple quickly rushes back to their seats because whoever sits first will be
the head of the household!
