In the Indian context, wedding is a connection, binding two persons not only in this present life but this holy union continues even after death, including the next seven rebirths of one’s life!

History and origin of Indian weddings:
In the ancient times in India, especially in Hindu weddings, polygamy and polyandry which are considered as illegal these days were practiced for political and social reasons and falling in love before marriage was thought to be as committing a sin. In the ancient period, Swayamwaras were arranged by the kings for their daughters, wherein princesses get to make a selection and the men on the other hand would have to prove themselves worthy of the princesses. It can be traced from the Vedas that individuals were considered matured when they attained puberty after which they were considered ready for marriage. While for others marriage took place mostly in their childhood primarily with the intention of protecting them from the foreign invaders. In fact, it became obligatory for each and every girl to step into the bond of wedding.

Though India is a ‘pot pouri’ of different cultural backgrounds but in some way or the other the wedding rituals are quite similar to one another with just some slight differences reflecting their customs and traditions, though the basic rituals remaining the same!
