10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Please dress modestly for this ceremony.
This ceremony is a small gathering for our closest family and friends. This is a pre-wedding ceremony which is performed to remove all the obstacles and bring happiness and prosperity into the lives of the couple. As it is believed that the stars and the planets have a great influence on our lives, this pooja is performed to ensure that the "Navagrah" or 9 planets are aligned for both the bride and the groom in order to live a happy life together. Like the name suggests, Grah means the house and Shanti means peace, thus it means the peace of the house.
5:00 pm - 9:00 pm
