 Even though the whole feel of the weddings is changing in India and the rituals are getting interchanged in their expression through different religions, cultures and modernization, the significance of these rituals still prevail strongly. Though there would be some cultural differences according to the religion and social groups, there are certain common rituals which remain through out the differing culture. These rites traditionally have beautiful meanings and positive vibrations which are felt while performing them. A marriage signifies the coming together of two individuals. It is a bond not only between two individuals but also between two souls, two families. Indian culture displays a strong tie of families and friends which comes together to celebrate the occasion. The marriage ceremony includes various pre wedding and wedding functions. Most of these functions take place mostly at the bride`s place and some at the groom`s place.

On the main day of the function a mandap is erected and the interior is beautifully decorated with flowers, colorful personal adornment, and decorative items.
