Pheras

Pheras refer to a set of sacred rituals performed during a Hindu wedding, primarily in North Indian traditions. Typically, there are seven rounds around a sacred fire (Agni), each symbolizing different vows and commitments between the bride and groom. These rituals are considered the heart of the marriage ceremony, signifying their union, shared responsibilities, and lifelong partnership. The Pheras are guided by spiritual and cultural principles, making the wedding a meaningful spiritual vow beyond just a social event. They are conducted with prayers, mantras, and symbolic gestures to bless the couple's future together.
