A look into meaning of Hindu Wedding Ritual
Hindu traditions are not only immortal but also
ancient. A nuptial that is been announced to
others through a wedding invitation card is much
more than a celebration of love. According to
Hinduism, it involves promising each other with a
happy and a conjugal beginning of a new life. A
Hindu wedding is complete only when the bride and
the bridegroom complete seven encirclements
around Agni, the sacred fire. Heres with
important points that would aid you to make you
aware of the meaning of a Hindu wedding ritual.

Convocation Ankurarpanam
The first step that leads towards the process of
a marriage is Convocation. The step refers to
grooming the man who is due to be married neatly,
followed by a bath under hot water. The main
reason is to mark a new beginning by ushering the
boy into a family and abandon Brahmacharya
(sainthood) where the person would take no heed
of his facial outlook.

Kanyadanam
In this step of ritual, the daughter is been
offered by her father to the groom, it is
considered to be the personification of Vishnu
with a belief that as they united with each other
and blessing of Brama Loka is showered on them.
The mantras also speak about offering the bride
dazzling in gold to the groom so that children
would be born later and she would not pose to be
a hindrance during his religious duties. The
understanding is extended by placing the
daughters hand of the groom and promising them.

Sumuhurtham
The next step, Sumuhurtham is characterized by a
special moment in which the bride and the groom
place cumin seeds and jaggery on their heads. The
head is where the Kundalini enters through the
opening of the Sushumna Nadi. After this step,
the cloth between the two that was placed is
removed and it is for the first time when the
bride and the groom see each other
As the cumin seeds and jaggery are placed on the
heads the mixture energizes them with positive
energy as it flows from the Sahasrara Chakra to
the Ajna Chakra. Finally, when they see each
other the wave lengths harmonize and this denotes
lesser chances of they getting in conflicts after
a married life.

Mangalsutra Dharana
Symbolizing Mangalya that means offering good
things, a mangalsutra is worn by the groom around
the brides neck and finally tied with three
knots. This denotes security and commitment and
move ahead with a married life filled with
happiness. The three knots mean Sthula Sharira
the entire body, Sukshma Sharira Pranic body
and Karana Sharira Causal body.

Homam (Holy fire)
Here, the bride and the groom move around the
holy fire, the protection against the evil. They
hold hand together to declare that they have
accepted each other with their souls and hearts.
They move around in seven encirclements with
seven vows that spells a responsibility towards
each other.
