A marriage or Wedding ceremony is one of the most important events in one’s life. It signifies the transitional state from Brahmacharayashram to Grihasthashramam. Performing Kalyana pooja acts as an invitation to the many Gods and Goddesses by performing various rituals to come and bless the couple. Marriage Pooja or Vivaham is a commitment between a man and a woman, and this commitment includes love, pleasure tolerance, and relaxation. Marriage has always been an integral part of the life of people all over the world. It goes without saying that marriage unites people and makes them very close to each other. Marriage embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice, and family. Informing a marital union, two people become something greater than once they were.
