The First Prayers
The Bajpai Residence 181-B, Pocket 1, Mayur Vihar Phase 1
The week begins at home, with the prayers that bless a house before a wedding.
-
We begin, as every Hindu wedding does, with prayers to Lord Ganesha, so that all that follows goes smoothly.
-
We honour the divine mothers and our ancestors, and ask for their blessings on the family.
-
Paddy is placed in the house, as a prayer that the new home always has plenty.
-
The married women of the family apply oil to the groom, and the auspicious days begin.
-
The mandap is put up at home, with prayers and songs.
