Overview

Vivah Sanskar (Hindu Wedding Ceremony) for families in Gandipet

Vivah Sanskar is one of the most important of the sixteen Hindu sanskars. It is the holy ceremony through which two people, and their families, are joined in a lifelong bond witnessed by Agni, the holy fire. While the celebrations around a wedding vary widely, the core rituals, Kanyadaan, Panigrahan, the pheras around the fire and Saptapadi, are shared by most Hindu communities.

Gandipet lies on the western edge of the city beside Osman Sagar, with the lake road, rocky outcrops and long stretches of green giving it a very different feel from the built-up neighbourhoods closer in. Land here is held in large parcels, and much of it is still open.

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

Planning your puja in Gandipet

Share a map pin and the gate name, as many properties on the lake road have no numbered address.

Open lawns are ideal for a homam; choose a spot away from dry grass and keep water or sand at hand.

Wind off the lake can trouble the fire and the diyas, so plan a sheltered corner or a simple screen.

Samagri and flower shops are some distance away, so arrange everything the previous day.

Tell us how many guests are expected so the seating and prasadam can be planned.

Fix the muhurtham with the Pandit before booking the venue, where possible.

Share both families' traditions, gotras and preferred languages.
