Hindu Wedding Ceremony – Wedding Day- Traditional Hindu and Assamese Style
ndia consists of many different regions, with each region having its distinctive religion, traditions, rituals, foods, and of course, very special wedding rituals.
After the Pre-Wedding ceremonies, the actual marriage ceremonies take place, so I will briefly touch upon the general Hindu traditions in part I, followed by Assamese wedding day traditions, in part II.
The actual marriage ceremony begins in the evening, could be as late as 9 PM, and lasts for 6 – 7 hours.
Besides the bride and the groom, only family members and close friends attend this part of the wedding ceremony.
It is very spiritual, filled with numerous rituals performed by the priest, bride, groom, and family members.
