The bride-in-waiting is asked to decorate her tresses with flowers and adorn her hand with vibrant coloured bangles. The assembled espoused women are gifted with flowers, bangles, sweets and beetle leaves . This act towards the espoused lades is to enable them to shower blessings on the bride-in¬waiting and welcome her to their fold.

Kashi Yatra

Wedding Ritual

The bride is well dressed and decked with precious jewellery.. As per the wedding procedure, a screen is placed between the bride and the groom till the wedding is completed. The bridegroom holds the right hand of the bride and takes the following oath:

Dharmecha.Arthecha. Kaamecha. Naathicharami
After the Kanyadaanam, the parents of the bride wash the boy's feet with milk & wipe his feet with silk cloth. It is more so done with the view that the groom is considered as a figure of God in Hindu weddings, the parents giving away their daughter in marriage to the groom is considered like gifting their most




Mangalsutra
The espoused women in India wear mangalsutra as a sign of marriage.
This is performed by the groom tying the Mangalsutra (yellow thread) around the neck, of the bride with three consecutive knots.

At the end of the Mangalsutra ceremony, the couple exchange garlands. This is followed by showering of flower petals and Akshata (the offering of uncooked rice mixed in turmeric) by the gathering as a mark of blessing.

Jeelakarra-Bellamu
Is a unique ritual specialty featuring in the Telugu wedding, where a paste of cummin seeds and jaggery is prepared. he bride and the groom dab this paste on top of each other's head. The idea behind applying this paste o f cumin seeds and jaggery, is that the two diverse components coming together and are united as one and forever.

Paanigrahana

For each of the seven steps, a vedic mantra is recited by the bridegroom, entreating her to support him through the journey of life. The couple then goes around the fire in in Pradakshina seeking the blessings of God and settle down to perform the homa to Agni- the cod: of fire -the sacrificail offer to various manifestations of God through Agni is to seek his grace for a. long, happy and prosperous married life.
