a) Traditional Hindu Marriages |
Traditional Hindu wedding ceremonies in Nepal are a major celebration
which takes place only on certain months ,of the year i.e from
mid January to mid-March, mid-April to mid-June and mid-November
to mid-December. Highly regarded as a sacrament, Hindu marriages
are solemnized in accordance with the VEDAS, the holy scriptures
of the Hindu religion that date back several thousand years.
The notable features of such weddings are, the ceremony is
held in the open under a canopy known as mandap with a sacred
fire in the center and the bride and bridegroom walk around
it seven times. The ceremony is carried out by the priest.
The groom's party is supposed to arrive at the wedding venue
in a procession, so it's good to have a convenient assembly
location nearby.
Astrologers decide on auspicious dates of the marriage on
the basis of the position of the stars. The Nepali wedding
ceremony is grand affair where the bride and bridegroom perform
the Puja and take best wishes as well as blessing from relatives,
friends and family members. The marriage venue is decorated
by colorful paper flowers and twinkling lights. A Nepalese
bride dresses in the bridal color of red and is bejeweled
with gold and precious gems. Traditionally, the bride and
groom are escorted to the marriage venue. In a village the
couple reach the marriage venue on horses or baskets, while
in a city marriage the couple arrive at the venue in a decorated
car. Music is an essential part of marriages. The traditional
music, Pachai Baja and folk songs still popular among people
are played as the Nepali people believe that playing traditional
music strengthens the nuptial knot and pleases God.
