Marathi wedding rituals before marriage - Maharashtrian Wedding

 

1) Sakhar Puda


SakharPuda, a ring exchange ceremony, marks the beginning of a beautiful journey. As a photographer, I capture the exchange of candy bags, symbolizing the sweet beginning of a new relationship. The exchange of rings, combining modernity and tradition, adds a dynamic that I like to focus on, capturing the couple with joy and hope in their eyes.

2) Simant Pujan


In Simant Pujan, the arrival of the groom is welcomed with traditional rituals. I focus on the simple moment when the bride and her mother wash the groom's feet, as a sign of care and respect. The exchange of gifts and laughter at this event provides plenty of candid photos to capture.

3) Kelvan


Kelvan is a heartwarming ritual where families gather for a meal. My focus is usually on simple glances, shared smiles and the warmth of family love. Capturing these moments is like preserving the essence of family ties and traditions.

4) Haldi or Haldi Chadawa/Chadana ceremony


The Haldi ritual has different colors and emotions. Due to its cleansing properties, turmeric paste can capture fun and social enjoyment. A bright yellow smile in the background makes the image brighter and more memorable.

5) Gaurihar/Gourihar Puja


Gaurihar Puja, the bride wears a flower necklace around her head and she worships goddess Gauri. The burning spiritual understanding can be seen in the story of the bride, which I try to capture in the frame. The elegance and prestige of this ceremony will add depth to your wedding album.


6) Antaparti ritual


The Antarpati ceremony, with its symbolic veil between the bride and groom, is a time of confusion and joy. The mood of the people and the moment when the first glance was exchanged are the moments that are expected from the two people. The combination of tradition and creativity makes it perfect for casual photos.

7) Kanyadaan Ritual


Kanyadaan is perhaps the most emotional ceremony. The beautiful features of the father when his daughter gives to her husband, is a moment that must be photographed carefully. A show that speaks a thousand words about love, death and new beginnings.


8) Saptapadi ritual


Saptapadi, the seven-step ceremony. Every step, vow, contest and journey around the sacred fire has deep meaning. When I was photographing this scene, I focused on the couple and their facial expressions: the combination of vows, the happiness and the truth of their vows.

9) Karma Samapti Ritual


Karmasamapati means wise decision making. The turns of the bride and her brother in the groom's ear represent new responsibilities and bring smiles and laughter, completing the faithful picture. The combination of formality and fun in the world of events captures the spirit of a Marathi wedding.

10) Varat


Varat is always known as Vidaai. Capturing the tears and smiles of the bride and her family afterwards is challenging and rewarding as a photographer. These images capture the essence of change and new beginnings.


11) Grihapravesh


Finally, Grihapravesh is a Event of welcome and new adventures for brides. I capture the bride arriving at her new home, her welcoming rituals and the emotions of her family with warmth and anticipation. Crossing the threshold is not only a physical moment, but also symbolic and meaningful.
