Grah Shanti is a pre-wedding ritual to invite Lord Ganesha to remove all obstacles and bring happiness and prosperity to the couple.
10:00 am - 2:00 pm
For the ceremony, the priest, groom, bride and bride's parents sit beneath a mandap (canopy). The ceremony starts off with the kanya daan, in which the bride's parents give her away. Then the couple joins hands and circles around a small, enclosed fire (the agni) in a ritual called the mangal phera. Then the couple will take the saptapadi, or seven steps, as they vow to support each other and live happily together. Finally, the groom will apply a red powder to the center of the bride's forehead and tie a black beaded necklace around her neck, symbolizing she's now a married woman.
