People believe that the best happiness in life is to love and be loved. Wedding is the only way where you seem to fulfill your urge to be one with your partner. As compared to other marriages, the Hindu wedding ceremonies are traditionally conducted which seems more orthodox. As Hinduism is a strict religion which does conform to all its rules and principles, the Hindu wedding is similarly performed with lot of devotion and perfection. Hindu Wedding Traditions is very rich as this old religion has formulated certain norms, which are still followed in the contemporary times. While the bridegrooms wear traditional dresses, vows are exchanged between the couples.

While looking for a perfect Traditional Hindu Wedding, you will generally find a host of rituals performed during the wedding day which is in stark difference with the western wedding ceremony. There is plenty of variation in Wedding Traditions in India as the country is blessed with multiple castes and sects. The couples, hailing from different communities like, the Rajput, Marwaris, Aggarwal or the South Indians, etc. have their own way of conducting wedding ceremonies. Hindu Wedding Traditions puts emphasis on performing various rites and making the occasion an elaborate as well as a colorful one. If you are willing to know about Hindu Wedding, you will realize the multiple layers

There are various pre-wedding and post-wedding ceremonies which are considered an important part of every Hindu wedding. Hindu Wedding Traditions conform to both the preaching of Puranas and Vedas. As Indian Wedding Traditions believe in making the Fire god as a main witness of the ceremony, Hindu wedding is not an exception. The process of marriage in a traditional Hindu wedding includes the invocation of Lord Ganesha and holy fire. The ritual of Kanyadana (giving away the bride to the groom), tying of Mangalsutra(holy necklace) is very common. The bridegrooms are required to take seven holy steps circling the fire, which is called Saptapadi. These rituals make the Hindu Wedding Traditions richer to many other wedding traditions.
