A Tamil Hindu Wedding
The traditional of Hindu weddings are based on sacred scriptures, Veda, which date back at least 4000 years. By the wedding union, the couple prepares to fulfil their physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and social goals of righteousness, acquisition of wealth, fulfilment of desires and the salvation of the soul.
The rituals of the Hindu marriage ceremony highlight the interdependence and the complementary nature of husband and wife relationship.
Ardhanareeswara- the half male and female representation of the almighty Shiva and his consort Shakthi - emphasises the ideal husband and wife relationship in Hinduism.
The marriage, known as kalyanam, is performed on an auspiciously decorated wedding platform, called the manavarai with the participants around the kalasam- a brass or silver pot (human body)- filled with holy water, topped with coconut (head), surrounded by five mango leaves (senses) and placed on a plantain leaf coved with raw rice or paddy. This poorana kumbam signifies self realization- the control of the body mind and the senses.
Venerated as Shiva and Shakthi, the bride and groom sit elevated in a space while the priest sanctifies for divine solemnisation.
