When does the actual wedding reaaaallly start?

Answer

Question

If the ceremonies start at ~8.30 am, the invite says 10.45 am…this is all too confusing!!

Answer

Yes, while the ceremonies start at 8.30 AM , the main tradition called “Jilakara-Bellam” is scheduled for 10.45 AM. This is considered the most vital of all the celebrations and apparently this is when the stars need to align to a happy marriage. In summary, 10.45 is when “Jilakara-Bellam” ceremony is scheduled for and all the other ceremonies are arranged around it.
