Overview
Tilak Ceremony (Phaldan) for families in Sarnath
The Tilak ceremony is one of the most important pre wedding rituals in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and among many Hindi speaking families. The men of the bride's family, usually her brother and father, visit the groom's home and apply tilak on his forehead, accepting him into the family.
Sarnath, a few kilometres north-east of central Varanasi, is revered around the world as the place where the Buddha gave his first sermon after enlightenment. Its stupas, monasteries and museum draw pilgrims and visitors from many countries throughout the year.
माङ्गल्यं तन्तुनानेन मम जीवनहेतुना।
