Hindu Wedding

The Indian traditional Hindu weddings Carry a lot of ceremonies and it is one of the most exciting and dreamlike occasions in anyone’s lifetime. And it is all the more exciting and gets a lot of emotional bonding when you are in some foreign location like UK (United Kingdom), London, Harrow. Because this is the time when your distant relatives from India visit you.

The Indian wedding priest(Hindu pandit for wedding) plays an important role in a Hindu wedding. Hindu traditions are one of the finest in the world and that very thing brings India to being a global nation (for example – Hindu weddings in the UK in presence of a wedding priest). Indians who have settled abroad a century back have touched base in India for some of the other rituals. India is the place where there are faith and religion and even foreigners have started learning the importance of traditionalism and some have also started following Hindu dharma.

Hindu wedding date and muhurta

Hindu weddings in the UK, the date and the time of the wedding have a crucial role to play. For any event to take place, Hindus pre-determine a time and date, which is generally decided by a hindu wedding priest (Hindu pandit for wedding). An auspicious time known as a muhurta is fixed for the Hindu wedding, using the couple’s date of birth. According to the planetary positions, the muhurta is calculated by a hindu wedding priest. The gotra, or the ancestral lineage, is announced as a Hindu wedding not supposed to occur within the same clan or lineage. Once the muhurta is fixed then starts all the hustle-bustle of the wedding. Wedding venues are fixed, the guest list is made, wedding clothes & jewelry shopping begins. After muhurta set by the Indian wedding priest, wedding card designs are checkout and catering vendors are looked after and all the family members are on their toes as a lot of work goes in a Big fat Indian Wedding!

Hindu rituals to perform for hindu wedding

The wedding ceremony is considered to signify the union of two souls, two families. Before the other rituals of the wedding begin, the Indian priests invoke the nine planets, each of which blesses the couple for leading a happy life together. This ceremony is called Graha Shanti. The Mandapa is a traditional structure for any type of ritual to be performed. It is all that the wedding priest needs to perform the marriage. It is traditionally made of wood and is sacred, so no one may put their shoes on it. The bride, groom, parents from both families and the priest enter the structure. Rice also played a major role in the ceremony. In the Western tradition, rice was thrown at a newlywed couple as a symbol of fertility. However, in the Hindu tradition, rice represents sustenance. Guests were invited to the mandap to throw sprinklings of turmeric-colored rice on Padma and Joe as a blessing. Offerings of puffed rice were poured into the sacred fire, which the wedding priest kept burning by dousing occasionally with ghee, or clarified butter. A Hindu wedding includes three or four days of ceremonies, in which the couple is united forever by a wedding priest who advises them, guides them in rituals for good luck, and gives them every blessing for the future. Indian priests attach a great deal of importance to marriages.

As a Hindu pandit for weddings, while meeting with couples who wanted to call us for all the Hindu rituals, Most of them realized there was a common theme.
