Fashion160 weddings involve many rituals and traditions. The ceremony is based on vedas, similar to the bible, which are spiritual scriptures that divide life into four stages (studentship, householder, retirement, and self-realization). Marriage, considered a sanskara or sacrament, is the transition from studentship to householder. Marriages are not entered into lightly and the decision is not considered solely by the couple but rather by the joining of two families along with the bride and groom. An astrologer determines the compatibility of the partners and an auspicious date for the marriage. Weddings in general are considered very important and celebratory; they are colorful and extend for several days. Some pre-wedding events include: engagement, mehendi event, sangeet, garba event, grashanti and vidhi puja (religious ritual). In addition, many traditions and rituals are incorporated within the wedding ceremony itself which is called the Lagna Vidhi.
