Attending an Indian wedding as a foreigner in Gujarat, India/ My viewpoint as an European

- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- In December we had the luxury to attend an Bhartiya wedding that took place in Gujarat. It was truly one of the most magnificent and unique experiences of our lives.
Thank you Preksha for having us!
A lot of things are done so differently in India and weddings are no exception. Starting from the clothes that people wear to celebrations and fuctions that happen during weddings - it was truly amazing to see and a blessing to be immersed in such diversity.
I don't think I have ever seen that much colour in one place! I didn't know what to focus on, I had a hard time soaking in everything at once.
This wedding was just a highlight from our trip to Bharat so more videos are yet to come. See you in the next video from this amazing journey through Gujarat, India.
#india #bharat
All the information I gathered for the video I did on my own so I apologize for potentially confusing the meaning of something.
Proud To a Bangladeshi Hindu 😊🕉️💜👏🇧🇩

Be safe broo 👍
How are you? Is there an emergency situation in Bangladesh for Hindus? Which party is supporting Hindus and how many political terror parties wish to finish Hindus? & Actual terrorists who kill innocent citizens of Bangladesh.
Please revert
We wish to know

Love from Tokyo 🗼
I am glad you are enjoying an Indian marriage wedding and liked it.
I am also from Gujarat so I Hope you liked my state during your stay.
Welcome again to the beautiful land of love and hospitality BARAT.
We Hindu's are peace loving people. We follows our traditions from thousands of year. India is richest cultural nation. Jai Shri Ram 🙏🙏
Hospitality in Bharat is just something amazing :) it's so true
If you love Bhartiya culture, then I would really recommend you to read the Bhagavad Gita. Hare Krishna 🪷
@@1ngliswhat wrong with you
He just recommended to read Bhagavad Gita
bhagavad gita is more than a religious books it teaches lessons which we should learn and apply in our life and it gives you that type knowladge that should no any book can give you , even so many famous physicist readed it so, it is different book than any other religious book @@1nglis
She just came to experience her friend's wedding. She never said "I love Bharatiya culture so much, I love it".
U can't just jumpstart anything anywhere, outta context. If someone wants anything s/he will always find it in this cyber world. By the way there are ISKCON Mandirs in her nation to guide anyone who's interested.
Don't jump guns n loss ur dignity. 🕉🚩🌷
@@garbage4698 what's wrong in sharing ancient Bharatiya knowledge with somebody who loves Bharat? Knowledge is the only thing that increases by sharing. Hare Krishna
@@1nglischill , she's not gonna become hindu just by reading that book ,even most of us Haven't read that , he's just recommending, only for interest
It's look like a Indian marriage documentary, Netflix should hire you😅, BTW you r looking so beautiful in Indian outfits ❤
Thank you so much! Maybe one day haha
Very warm welcome in Gujarat 🙏🏻

Indian weddings mean families and generations coming together to make the day unforgettable for the couple👩❤️👨 and those in attendance. Every ritual and every mantra works to strengthen the love❤ shared by the couple and the families involved.An Indian groom typically wears a turban with a veil of flowers to protect him from evil spirits🧿. The parents give the bride away🙌, but they do not eat before the wedding to remain pure for the occasion. The bride's saree is tied to the groom's scarf to symbolize the union of the souls.Is called aa Our Bharat🫶. Jai Hind Jai Bharat🇮🇳.
Oh I see, thanks for sharing that!
Why are Indians obsessed with white people ?
Thanks fot sharing. Love from 🇮🇳🇮🇷
Thanks 😊 greetings from Poland!

In Hinduism, the rites of passage or "sanskars" are considered important rituals that mark key stages in an individual's life. There are traditionally 16 sanskars in total, including marriage. Here is the list:
1. **Garbhadhana** - Conception
2. **Pumsavana** - Fetus protection
3. **Simantonnyana** - Baby shower, parting of hair
4. **Jatakarma** - Childbirth ceremony
5. **Namakarana** - Naming ceremony
6. **Nishkramana** - First outing
7. **Annaprashana** - First feeding of solid food
8. **Chudakarana** (or **Mundan**) - First haircut
9. **Karnavedha** - Ear piercing
10. **Vidyarambha** - Beginning of education
11. **Upanayana** - Sacred thread ceremony, initiation
12. **Vedarambha** - Start of Vedic studies
13. **Samavartana** - Graduation ceremony
14. **Vivaha** - Marriage
15. **Vanaprastha** - Retirement, forest-dweller stage
16. **Antyeshti** (or **Antyesti**) - Funeral rites
These sanskars serve as milestones throughout a Hindu's life, from conception to funeral, encapsulating cultural values and religious beliefs.
Dear Aleksandra,
In India, marriage is a very responsible task; every parent wants their son or daughter to marry with pomp and ceremony. I liked that you were on an Indian visit and exploring Indian culture. I hope you will stay here for some more time because if you want to explore India, you must visit 28 states.
Every state has different customs of marriage. Finally, one more thing that you should take care of yourself and stay safe in your India tour plan. In India, the weather and climate vary from state to state.
Yes, I've heard it! Maybe one day I can attend one again
What an honour, to be invited to attend such a beautiful ceremony, such a breataking and incredible experience. Many thanks to the family for allowing you to not only attend but to share this.
That’s right! I really appreciate this privilege
Welcome in gods land Bharat ❤
Thank you!
Beautifully shown all the rituals... And also loved your narrative ❤
Thanks! It was definitely a challenge!
@@aleksandrapekala yeah it's visible. Overcoming challenges often leads to growth... Well-done 👍😀
@@bhaskardas1167 so true, thanks!
reason behind haldi ritual
It's beautiful mustard yellow hue is auspicious in Indian tradition representing a life of prosperity for the couple about to begin their new life together. A common reason why Haldi is used for this ceremony is to rid the couple of Buri Nazar, the Sanskrit term for evil eye.
Oh I see, thanks for sharing :)
Urdu.
Amazing & beautiful experience! Thank you kindly for sharing their wonderful journey.
Thanks! It was a pleasure to participate
I can pretty well say that you have done an extensive research about the wedding or had been told to you. Literally, all the beliefs that an Indian wedding has to follow has been explained well and damn right 😮.
PS: If you'll ever explore Delhi, send me an invite....just kidding 😅
Thank you! Friends from Bharat helped me a bit too ;)

Thanks a lot 😊
There is a documentary about Indian maharaja who adopted nearly about 1000 polish childrens who became orphans during WW1 or 2 i guess. He was a strict Hindu but he made church for them and a different polish library so that they can learn their mother language and stay connected to their roots. All the childrens live their whole life in royalty. He's known as 'the good maharaja' in Poland,you can research about him.
I know this history, it’s very interesting!
@@aleksandrapekala noice❤️

If you're still here in India then you must visit Rajasthan once, especially in this weather and season of mustard crop, whole state looks just stunning.
Oh adding this to my travel list! 😉
I think the marriage in hindu is not about two coupling , there are so many things and everyining is nature , sustaining nature and still pure divine..
Jai shree ram 🕉 🚩 Didi 🙏
Very nice video
Thank you for being part of our marriage function ❤
Thank you 😊 it’s my pleasure
Amazing and wonderful & beautiful experience ❤ it's wonderful journey
It really is!
There are so many rituals and regional and even familial variations that as Indians most of us don't think about what the meaning of each and every small tradition is :)
Very true! 😅

Good to see you in India. Hope you enjoy your stay. And FYI we Indians have different rituals, tradition in each state & regions for marriage.
Pls consider to visit every part of India to know more in details.😊 Btw you look good in Indian attire.
Thanks for the tips! I’ve heard about it
@@aleksandrapekala Glad to hear it. I Hope to see your next blog soon.
Yes, I have been to wedding in India. It was 750 guests 🤔
Around 1000! 😁
In my sister wedding around 1500 guests( Villagers + Relatives ) comming & around 2 lakh rupees we spend on food only because food is everything.😅
Welcome ❤💐🇮🇳
Btw I'm from northern part of Bharat 🇮🇳.
Turmeric Means Haldi in India. And it is called Haldi ceremony. People wear yellow beause of the color of Haldi that is yellow. We also wear Green in Mehandi Ceremony bcz it has green color Henna.
In ancient times, Hindu marriages were solemnized during the morning hours. However, in the northern regions of India, the intrusion of foreign beliefs was often accompanied by violent upheavals, unlike the comparatively peaceful transitions witnessed in the southern lands. The invaders frequently disrupted marriage ceremonies, resorting to the abduction of brides, thus influencing the timing of such ceremonies. Hence, the tradition of morning weddings persists in the southern parts of India. Regrettably, much of this historical truth has been omitted from our records, a deliberate oversight that has left many young Indians unaware. Yet, glimpses of such occurrences can be gleaned from the annals of Middle Eastern history.
Divorce not exist in Indian culture 😁
Don't use this type of word to our lovable tourist🙏
🙏
Proud to be hindu and warm welcome in our land and culture.
Thank you 😊

To the question on yellow colour the reason is it is associated with Hindu religion
The fire process is called yajna(sacrifice) and it purifies the atmosphere when mango leaves are burnt in them!
Lots of love from India ❤
Lots of love from Poland 🤍
Narayana 🙏🏻🕉️🙇🏻
I extremely suggest you to read Bhagavad Geeta ..a true way of living!
Lots of love from India ❤
