The Hindu wedding symbolizes the physical and spiritual union of a man and woman. The king and queen of the day are looked upon as Lord Shiva and Goddess Shakti and they sit proudly on the manavarai (wedding dais).
Welcoming the Guests
In any functions we need people to bless and to enjoy the ceremony with us. In a Hindu wedding ceremony guests are very important especially to bless the couple and to witness the wedding. They are welcomed with fragrant rose water which will be sprinkled upon them at the entrance of the wedding place. They are also offered sandalwood paste, kunggumam (red saffron), flowers and sweets. The guests are expected to have sweet thoughts and say sweet words on this day.
