Overview
Nischitartham (Engagement Ceremony) for families in Shivpur
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.
Shivpur is on the western side of Varanasi, beyond the busier central areas. Once more semi-rural, it has grown into a residential area with new colonies, independent houses, apartment buildings, schools and markets.
माङ्गल्यं तन्तुनानेन मम जीवनहेतुना।
कण्ठे बध्नामि सुभगे त्वं जीव शरदां शतम्॥
Māṅgalyaṁ tantunānena mama jīvanahetunā, kaṇṭhe badhnāmi subhage tvaṁ jīva śaradāṁ śatam.
