When it comes to the destination wedding, the
presence of beautiful and royal wedding venues in Jodhpur make it a first
preference for wedding couples. It’s like a dream for couples who wish to have
an ideal and royal wedding. Before you move onto the ways you could brighten up
your wedding venue, let us look through the wedding traditions you will soon be
a part of.
Fixing the date
As per Hindu tradition, the couple’s zodiac
signs and Gunas are matched to find the ideal time for the wedding rituals. It
then helps them to ‘save the date’ for their big day, and start off with all
the wedding planning.
Tilak or Tika Ceremony
Tilak is the first ceremony that makes the
wedding official. The male members of the bride’s family visit the groom’s
house. The bride’s brother applies Tilak or Tika on the groom’s forehead. The
groom gets presents that include precious metals, clothes, sweets, and more.
Sangeet Ceremony
Sangeet Ceremony is a warm get-together for
both the bride’s family and groom’s family. They indulge in a musical event
where they challenge each other in different games. The event helps the
families know each other better.
Mehendi Ceremony
The Mehendi ceremony is an all women affair
where the bride is adorned with henna patterns in her hands and feet. There are
many luxury spas in Jodhpur where
you can find Mehendi artists as well. They are professionals who are hired to
make fine Mehendi patterns. In some Hindu traditions, even the groom is
supposed to adorn Mehendi patterns in his hands.
Haldi Ceremony
On the morning of the ‘big day’, the bride and
the groom indulge in the Haldi ceremony. All the family members apply yellow
turmeric paste, and it is a sign of blessing them with good luck. The haldi
paste is said to ward off evil and provide healing properties.
Walking down the aisle
The groom is first to come to mandap where the
priest starts chanting the mantras for the wedding. The bride is brought to the
venue and she walks down to aisle, shimmering in a red saree or lehenga. The
mandap is decorated with lights, drapes, and flowers, and that symbolizes
well-being. The supporting pillars of the mandap symbolize the parents who have
been supportive towards their children and who bless them for their lives
ahead.
Taking the vows
You can check out the best hotel at Jodhpur and book its banquet
to have an ideal venue to take the vows. At this part of the wedding, the bride
and the groom promise to be the best of them and maintain a healthy
relationship. They exchange garlands, and the wife is adorned with sindoor and
Mangalsutra.
