Rice, Coconuts & Jasmine - Indian Hindu Wedding

Jasmine garland connects two coconuts.

A Hindu wedding is a traditional wedding ceremony for Hindus. The wedding ceremonies are very colorful, and celebrations may extend for several days.

The rituals and processes of a Hindu wedding vary widely, by region and community. 

The primary witness of a Hindu marriage is the fire-deity (or the Sacred Fire) Agni, in the presence of family and friends. The ceremony is traditionally conducted entirely or at least partially in Sanskrit, considered by Hindus as the language of holy ceremonies. The local language of the bride and groom may also be used.
