Thanjavur Threads, Timeless Tales: PhotosbyKISHEN Weaves Your Tamil Wedding Legacy

An insight to Tamil Weddings

A Tamil wedding, also known as Kalyanam, is a traditional wedding ceremony originating from the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Tamil weddings are rich in culture and have various customs and rituals that are followed before, during, and after the wedding ceremony.

The wedding preparations start with the Panda Kaal Muhurtham, which is a traditional ceremony performed to seek blessings from the gods and ancestors. The bride and groom then exchange horoscopes to ensure that their stars align.

The wedding ceremony itself is typically held in a temple or at the bride's house. The groom arrives with his family and friends, and the bride's family welcomes them with Aarti and garlands. The couple then exchange flower garlands, signifying their acceptance of each other.

One of the most important rituals of a Tamil wedding is the tying of the sacred thread, known as the mangalsutra. This thread symbolizes the bond between the bride and groom and is tied by the groom around the bride's neck.

Other rituals during the wedding include the exchange of wedding rings, the tying of the thali (a sacred yellow thread) around the bride's neck, and the showering of rice on the couple as a symbol of prosperity.

The wedding ceremony is followed by a feast, which is traditionally served on banana leaves and includes a variety of vegetarian dishes. The celebrations continue with music, dancing, and other cultural performances.

Overall, a Tamil wedding is a beautiful and elaborate ceremony that celebrates the union of two families and the beginning of a new chapter in the lives of the bride and groom.
