Abstract

For Hindus is marriage is sacred union of a man and a woman who are married before the eyes of ancestors, people and gods. We can follow in the footsteps of the sacredness of the Hindu wedding to the Vedic period.

The core of today's Hindu wedding ceremonies comes from the Vedic ritual. Also Manu, the legendary Old Indian legislator, views marriage as a religious duty that every man and woman of the right age should go through.

Just like today. The wedding ceremonies themselves vary in different parts of India.

In this post, we will introduce the wedding, as usually takes place in today's Bengal.
