    Overview

    Nischitartham (Engagement Ceremony) for families in Mahalakshmi Layout

    Nischitartham is the Telugu engagement ceremony at which the two families formally confirm the marriage. Known in the North as Sagai and in Tamil homes as Nichayathartham, it usually includes Ganesh Puja, the exchange of betel leaves, fruits, clothes and rings, and the reading of the lagna patrika, which announces the wedding muhurat.

    Mahalakshmi Layout lies in north west Bangalore between Rajajinagar, Nandini Layout and Yeshwanthpur. Its best known landmark is the Prasanna Veeranjaneya Swamy temple on a small hillock, which draws devotees from across the city on Saturdays.

    माङ्गल्यं तन्तुनानेन मम जीवनहेतुना।

    कण्ठे बध्नामि सुभगे त्वं जीव शरदां शतम्॥

    Māṅgalyaṁ tantunānena mama jīvanahetunā, kaṇṭhe badhnāmi subhage tvaṁ jīva śaradāṁ śatam.

    With this holy thread, the cause of my life, I tie the mangalya around your neck, O auspicious one. May you live for a hundred autumns.Traditional vivaha mantra

    Nischitartham (Engagement Ceremony) Traditions in Bangalore

    • Many families hold Nischitartha at the bride's home or a small hall rather than the wedding mantapa.
    • The lagna patrike needs both families' details, so share them in advance.
    • Weekend slots are preferred when relatives travel from Mysuru, Mangaluru or other cities.
