During the Anand Karaj, guests and members of the couples family sing shabads from the scriptures. In modern times these are translated into English for guests. The Barat part of the ceremony is where the groom meets the bridge family within the Gurdwara. There are more traditions further into the ceremony that you can see at brides.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n You can wear a variety of different clothes however during the morning ceremony at the Gurdwara you must dress in a modern fashion, remove any footwear and cover your head. During the evening ceremonies, you can choose a more modern dress and less modestly allowing for an evening of dancing, food and fun.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some Hindu wedding traditions include but are not limited to: The Sangeet, a gathering of family and friends where people sing and dance, Henna for the bride\u2019s hands & feet as well as the vara yatra or the celebration of the groom arriving at the ceremony. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Traditionally Hindu brides adorn a red dress or sari that has been embroidered with golden accents, however, in modern times brides have been known to forego this tradition in favour of a slew of pastel colours and or floral prints. Wearing a red sari or dress symbolises commitment and fertility within the usual tradition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Mandap is a structure built and decorated just before the wedding. It is usually highly decorated and elevated with seats on either side for both the bride and grooms parents. During the ceremony a fire is kept in the centre of the Mandap, this is usually holy fire and is used as a witness for the marriage. The Mandap is considered the centrepiece of a Hindu wedding. A traditional Hindu wedding usually takes place over 3 days these consist of Day 1, The Ganesh Puja, followed by a family gathering. Day 2 is the Grah Shanti a larger pre-wedding ritual that invites Ganesha into the home to bring happiness and remove any obstacles in the way of the couple. Day 3 consists of the actual Wedding and an evening celebration where all guests are invited. If you are a guest at a Hindu wedding or someone\u2019s date you may be invited to all 3 days or just one. As time has gone on some couples have been known to have weddings that last up to 5 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Asian matrimonials are wonderful, joyous occasions.
