Indian weddings traditions changing really??

Are Indian traditions changing?

We ll, if you look closely , i guess , it wouldn't be jumping the gun to say that the traditions and customs are naturally altering. Talking about traditions previously there was a tradition that would be bride and groom were not even suppose to see each other let alone spending time to each other better.

NOw a days , we in india feel families to be quiet extrovert who let their girl out with the boy alone on a arranged date , even after doing it the elders never fail to mention that its because of the changing time we need to do this as they would never take full responsibilty of what they might think might happen. Well as you know, most of the fears, anticiptions and doubts are fuelled by the oil of thoughts more than the reality which can be as much as nothing at all.

It was also a tradition that the girl will not in any cirscumstances enter the would groom place (as they didn;t know each other before marriage thus, it didn't happen much) but in today's boy and girls who graduate from friendship to lovers and later man and wife do see , meet and visit each other before the holy matrimonial takes place.

Thus, it wouldn't be odd to step of the side of the lines which determine taht times are changing.

Face to face the world.

Interestingly , like any other country , however much more than that Indian belive in showing more than what they have. As it is believed that we get more if we have more through God and through law of human nature.

One person lets us take an example of minister, would get more expensive gifts from all his allies and businessman as they believe that whosover gives the most expensive and likeable gift would win the heart of the minister and he could be used to many future business endeavours. But if a poor guy who has not eaten anything asks same set of people for food they would avoid even looking at him let alone sparing change for him.

Thus, people show their best face in the society as the moment you are seen below the 'acceptable level' people tend to phase away or even change the way they interact with you. Thus, this is directly propotionate and is seen in direct effect which people shell out money while for weddingeven if the money is borrowed as the face they show will directly affect the way people behave then and after wth them.

The point stands, do we really need those people who would first be after you and would leave your back if they find a person richer than you, well this all stands and is always thought about and never acted upon, as we still continue to do our best to show our best face in the society we eternally hate.

The tradition stays on! Indian wedding customs !!

Indian wedding apart from being a biggest task in most of the middle class families also has some tradition and rituals which have been followed by generationg after generation.

The main ritual without which no north-indian wedding is complete both bride and the groom take seven rounds of a small fire which is lit while solomonising the wedding. And after the seven rounds the groom is suppose to put a red powder like stuff called 'sindoor' in the girls middle partitioned hair for about 1-2 inch working its way right through the middle of the head. These two things are like a 'MUST' in order to complete the wedding.

There are many more rituals which are actually followed some of them are firstly, the boy and the girl gets a sandal wood paste rubbed over his body on the day of wedding, in their respective homes, so that he looks fair and is clean and scented to its 'core'. Secondly, the girl generally is mos tof the cases whould wear red color dress as it is the color of prosperity and hapiness in india history. Thirdly, after the wedding the girl has to go back to her place for a brief visit the very next day as this is a custom to welcome the new family into the homes of the native daughter-in-laws place.

I hope , you have got little knowledge of what are the things indian people follow while getting a couple married. Thus, to more about the negatives of all the glitters please read on the next blogs as it rightly proves all the glitters is not gold.

Lavish Indian Wedding

We all have heard and read about how lavish indian weddings can be. There are people start worrying about the wedding and wedding expenses as soon as the doctor tells them that they have been blessed with a baby girl. Thus, from that moment on it becomes the responsibility of the father to actually make sure he saves and reserves enough money to get his daughter married.

With the preparation there is a considerable amount of money which is for dowry,yes its still a big part of every fat or slim wedding taking place be it in capital city like New delhi of be it in a small village of mere 50 people. Unlike any other country Indian Wedding in a way are a curse to the people who want to get their daughters married but dont have enough money-dowry to actually secure the future of their daughter in the new home she is about to leave for. It during this time many father actually take loan to make sure the wedding is upto the level that community accepts and not what they can afford.

For other Indian wedding is a way to flaunt and show the kind of power and money they have earned also is a mini festival for all the relatives who would apparently be around for atleast 4-6 functions depending on the arrangements set by the parents of bride and groom. Even the relatives get busy and getting their clothes stitched in most of the cases unless they have some new from some previous function as they want to look really flashy in whatever they wear during these functions. Indian wedding sometimes are also a money making tool for the groom's parent as they would literally give a price they would expect while getting to agree for the marriage. Believe it or not there are marriage , more such casses in non-metropolitan cities, where the bride and groom have least role in questioning or meeting their other half before marriage.

Thus, when we hear about Indian wedding it does cast a doubt as it is it really a blessing or curse as different people would react in different ways depending on the 'budget' they have rather than the actual feeling related to the right crux of this holy matrimonial. You decide!
