    Overview

    Tilak Ceremony (Phaldan) for families in Shivala

    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.

    Shivala is a residential neighbourhood along the river between Assi and Kedar Ghat. Its lanes lead down to Shivala Ghat and the smaller ghats nearby, which are generally calmer than the busy central stretch of Kashi's riverfront.

    माङ्गल्यं तन्तुनानेन मम जीवनहेतुना।

    कण्ठे बध्नामि सुभगे त्वं जीव शरदां शतम्॥

    Traditional vivaha mantra

    Planning Your Puja in Shivala

    Vehicles can reach the main road, but the last stretch to houses near the river is often on foot.
    Steps down to the ghats can be steep, so plan for elderly relatives.
    Mornings are peaceful for snan and sankalp before a home puja.
    Water levels rise during the monsoon and some ghat steps may be under water.
    Confirm with your guest house before planning a havan on the terrace.
