Vedic Wedding
Sun, Feb 22, 2026, 6:30 pm - Mon, Feb 23, 2026, 12:00 am
Camac Street, 3rd floor, Sreet, WB 700071, India
Our celebrations begin with a traditional Vedic Hindu wedding ceremony, held indoors at the Royal Vintage Garden. This sacred ritual is the most important part of a Hindu wedding. The ceremony will be led by female priestesses, with hymns drawn from classical Sanskrit texts and beautifully blended with the words and songs of Rabindranath Tagore, Nobel Prize–winning poet and philosopher. His verses are woven into the rituals as living mantras, adding depth, meaning, and music. All hymns and rituals will be explained through a melodic narration, with English translations provided. Guests may enjoy light snacks and drinks during the ceremony. Following the rituals, we invite you to a traditional Bengali dinner buffet, featuring a variety of authentic dishes, along with mocktails and cocktails. The evening then continues with music, dancing, a DJ, and photo sessions as we celebrate together. Dress Code: Elegant, colorful Indian or festive attire encouraged.
