Hindu Ceremonies

This is only an outline of a short Hindu marriage ceremony. The ceremony usually lasts 4-5 hours. There are traditionally several days of ritual leading to the actual ceremony. The Hindu marriage is not a social contract in the modern sense of the term, but a religious institution. The couple, in fact, becomes a part of the whole creation. It is a firm and lifelong companionship. It is a new eternal bond between the Bride and Groom not only for one lifetime, but also for several generations. It is also a new everlasting bond between the two families, the family traditions and the two cultures. Both husband and wife have to establish the common goals of life, and move together to keep each other happy and healthy, and at the same time move closer to the common goals which can be no others but the experience of joy, peace, sublime bliss, and finally the Moksha -- the complete freedom from material entanglement or the cycle of birth and death.

The Hindu marriage is for procreation but not for recreation or pleasure born out of blind passion. The husband and wife are expected to generate a world of their own and beget illustrious children who could carry on the noblest family traditions for providing a link with eternity.

The process of Hindu marriage varies widely from region to region and is performed under the guidance of a priest who recites mantras (verses) that are originally written in Sanskrit. The marriage is performed in a specific sequence starting with Ganesh Pooja.
