Colours and flavours of the Indian
culture make it the richest culture in the world. The variations with region
and religion make the Indian dynasty so wide. Similarly, weddings in India are
also varied with different practices and accomplishments of the rituals. When
it comes to wedding, the Indians are very specific about following each and
every ritual accurately. The rituals are required to be performed with all the
respect and integrity towards respective religions of the brides and grooms.
Brahmin community is one of the most prevailing communities in India who are
famous across the globe for their religious beliefs and the cultural practices,
as they are considered as priestly family of the country.
Brahmins
enjoy a very high status in the country. They are supposed to perform the
religious duties of the all the Hindu communities in India, hence they have the
deep knowledge of each and every ritual and thus strictly adhere to same.
Rituals in the
Brahmin Matrimonial

the region they belong to. The customs in Brahmin matrimonial are bound to
remain same, with some of the minor changes due to regional impact. As Brahmins
are given the top spot in the Indian caste system, the customs followed in Brahmin
matrimonial are believed to be accurate and pure.
North Indian Brahmin bride are very
specific about their attire, they generally drape beautiful silk and Banarasi
sarees, while brides in south India drape heavy Kanjivaram sarees. Saree is the
most preferred attire for the Brahmin brides, as it looks very elegant and adds
charm to the bride. With the changing fashion trends, Brahmin brides also
consider dressing up in designer sarees and lehengas for their weddings.
Similarly, grooms are also much aware of the latest fashion trends and spend a
handsome amount to look their best in the wedding. The grooms love to wear
designer sherwani and suits, and take complete care of their looks, as do the
brides.
Brahmin
matrimonial is no longer conservative these days. It is obvious that bride and
groom love to make their wedding day an unforgettable one, hence have also
started taking interest in hiring wedding planners to arrange their wedding.
These planners follow a theme and make the arrangements accordingly. The hosts
have the freedom to choose the theme they like to flaunt in the wedding. Floral
themes are generally most popular these days, where the decoration is made
according to the choice of the bride and groom’s families. Though wedding
planners make the things very easy, still Brahmin community strictly adhere to
their rituals and follow the same.
Numerous rituals are involved in Brahmin
matrimony, which are supposed to be conducted in the respective homes of the
bride and groom. Such rituals demand presence of the entire family during
rituals, where each and every member has his/her involvement in the wedding
processes. Seniors are there to bless the couple and take the responsibility of
the wedding, while youngsters of the family keep the atmosphere full of fun and
help elders in various chores.
The Brahmins in north and south
India follow a strict vegetarian diet, Bengali Brahmins being an exception,
where fish is the most dominant part of their feast. North Indian Brahmins do
not even use onion and garlic in the wedding feast.
The Brahmins strictly find the match
within their community itself, and are particularly very considerate about
their norms. However,
time has changed and
parents these days do not impose their choice on their kids, and give them the
option to choose their life partners themselves. Inter-caste marriages in
Brahmin community are no exception these days.
