A Complete Guide on Indian Marriage


India and the orient are popularly known to the world as the land of myths and legends, fables and folklores and snake charmers and seers and this quotient of exoticism which is generally associated with India’s culture is further propagated by Indian marriages which are affairs known worldwide for their opulence and grandeur. However, an Indian marriage is something much more beyond the obvious extravagance and grandiose as they mark the unison of two souls. In fact, Indian marriages are much more ritualistic and traditional than marriages in other parts of the world. Marriages in the west are looked at more as a bond of legal and social importance whereas in India, marriages are looked at as a personal bond and are regarded with a sense of veneration and piety.

An Indian marriage is often confused with a Hindu marriage; however, it is just one of the many kids of marriages that can be grouped under an Indian marriage. Apart from Hindu marriages, Muslim, Sikh, Zoroastrian, Jewish, Buddhist, Jain and Christian marriages also fall under the category of Indian Marriages.

However, no matter whichever religion it is, and what customs, rituals and traditions it follows all marriages are regarded as a bond that is pious in nature. It is only in Hindu religion that a marriage is considered as a bond that lasts for the next seven births. Several folklores, fables and myths have come down to us through the scriptures to reinforce the piety and indelible nature of an Indian marriage, like, the proverbial tale about Savitri who brought her dead husband back from Yamaraja and about Sati who sat on her husband’s pyre alive and turned herself into ashes as it was her duty to accompany her husband anywhere he went. All these myths or folklores, whatever, you consider they are, are present only in Hindu scriptures and do not apply to other religions, still the sense of veneration and piety that is attached to any marriage within any religion or community in India is the same, probably because most of them have been born and propagated from the mythical land of Savitri and Sati.
