What is Vivaah Sanskar puja?
Vivah Sanskar, or the wedding ceremony, is one of the most significant rituals in Hindu culture. It marks the union of two individuals, not just physically but also spiritually and emotionally. This sacred ceremony is performed to seek the blessings of the deities for a harmonious, prosperous, and fulfilling married life. The rituals involved in Vivah Sanskar are deeply rooted in Vedic traditions and are designed to ensure the couple’s well-being and happiness.
