Hindu wedding
A Hindu wedding, known as "Vivah," is a sacred ceremony that symbolizes the union of two individuals and their families. It usually involves several rituals spread over days, such as the "Sangeet" (musical celebration), "Mehendi" (henna application), and the main "Shaadi" (wedding). Key rituals include the "Kanyadaan" (giving away the bride) and "Saptapadi" (seven vows taken together). The ceremony is often performed by a priest, incorporating prayers and cultural traditions. It celebrates love and commitment, emphasizing the idea of marriage as a lifelong partnership blessed by family and deities.
