Overview
Vivah Sanskar (Hindu Wedding Ceremony) for families in Nadesar
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.
Nadesar lies next to the Cantonment side of Varanasi, not far from Varanasi Junction railway station. It is one of the city's more spacious areas, with tree-lined roads, older bungalows, government offices and several well-known heritage and business hotels.

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