This story is not just about two individuals getting married but also about two childhood friends who got reunited!

Shiva Shankar (the groom) lives in Malaysia and was registered with Kalyanamalai by his parents. 

Soon after registering, we sent them many profiles of potential prospects but only one caught the groom’s eye! It was K. Janani Kumar (the bride)

When the groom’s family saw Janani's profile, their expectations were fulfilled! 

The bride and groom’s parents spoke over the telephone to fix their marriage and they were surprised to know that the mothers of the bride and groom were childhood friends who lost touch after they got married. 

And when they met after 40 years through Kalyanamalai, it was just like old times..

Both the families were happy and they decided to take things forward. The groom flew from Malaysia to meet the bride and he was welcomed with a grand celebration.

Mudaliar Wedding Rituals

Weddings in India and every one of the wedding ceremonies has such a lot of significance in them. Every little custom has a lovely story installed in it and one must be fortunate to have a wedding loaded up with such excellent ceremonies. 

Bringing to you all the adoration and euphoria, flawlessly mixed with customs and ceremonies from the tamizh mudaliar wedding rituals. 

A customary tamizh mudaliar wedding starts with 

• The Pandakaal where both the families offer prayer to god for an upbeat, continuous wedding. This custom happens a day prior to the wedding.

• The custom of purifying and cleaning, Nalungu is normally done on the night prior to the real wedding. The lady and the husband are made to sit in mats and tree plates are kept close to them containing turmeric glue, kumkum, scented oils, and a combination of lime and turmeric in water (Aarti).

• The Muhurtam day starts with 'Mappillai Azhaippu' where the sibling or uncle of the bride welcomes the lucky man to wed the lady and he is invited by the bride’s family in an important way.

The morning of the wedding implies the best day of the couples' lives and a 'pandal' is introduced to stamp the beginning of a festival. After which the bride takes part in the Padha Poojai where the bride washes the elder's feet to show appreciation to them, at that point, the Kasi Yatra occurred where the husband to be prepared for the journey, however, is halted by the lady of the hour's sibling mentioning him to wed her. This is followed by 'Mahalakshmi Pooja' where prayers are offered to the Goddess of wealth.

 

After these customs, several prepare for the muhurta while the man of the hour's family cooks Pongal in an earthen pot, this custom is known as the Manai Pongal. The Muhurtam starts with the priest lighting the hallowed fire and directing the Ganapati homam, looking for endowments of Lord Ganesha after which the lady is given over to the man of the hour – this is called Kannika dhanam, the most vital piece of the wedding. The lucky man at that point ties the sacred 'Mangalam string and rice dunked in turmeric is showered upon the couple as a demonstration of gift to the couple. After this there are a couple of more practices that are done to finish up the wedding such as-

• Omam- Where the couples pay homage to the sacred fire

• Sesha- Blessings for the couple

• Paying respect to the Arasanukkal: The couple goes around the “arasanikkal’ three times.

That is the occasion; two spirits are integrated until the end of time. Then the couples have a Reception where the post-wedding celebrations happen. 

May the years ahead be filled with love and joy.

Happy Kalyanam!

Understanding the Seven Vows of the Hindu Marriage!

A couple is considered “married” only when the bride and the groom take the seven wedding vows to promise to be with each other for eternity around the holy pyre (Agni) as the witness.

For the seven vows to take place, the holy fire is lit using wood, ghee, and cow manure in the sacred fireplace (Havan Kund). 

According to Hindu mythology, fire is one of the five natural elements that make the human body which is why it is considered important. It is also believed that fire is capable of tying the couple in an eternal bond of marriage because fire is the one thing that separates them from each other. In the Hindu religion, the body of a person is burnt after death.

Every religion and culture has its own set of vows but the final aim is to keep their relation unbreakable. 

Let’s dive deeper into these 7 vows:

1. The First Vow 

In the first vow, the groom promises to take care of his bride, their children and the family’s well being and in return, the bride undertakes the responsibility of looking after the household management. 

1. The Second Vow 

In the second vow, the groom vows that he will be loyal and faithful to his to-be wife and will stand by her through all the ups and downs. He will support her by providing mental, physical and financial stability and security to her and the family. The bride vows that she will share the responsibility by standing with him as his strength through all his agonies and ecstasies.  

1. The Third Vow 

In the third vow, the groom promises to work hard towards growing wealth and prosperity and to educate their children. The bride promises to prioritize her groom above every other man in her life. She vows to unconditionally love her groom for the rest of her life. 

1. The Fourth Vow

In the fourth vow, the groom promises to bring completeness and sacredness to their relationship. He vows to respect both the families equally and include his bride’s opinion in all his life decisions. In return, the bride promises to stand by her groom through the family commitments and will respect all the decisions that he makes for her and the family. She vows to protect her groom and will even sacrifice her life for him if she has to. 

1. The Fifth Vow

The fifth round around the holy fire is to share happiness and sorrows. The groom promises to be her best friend and understands her in every part of his life. The bride promises to love and cherish her groom as long as she lives. She considers his happiness and sorrows as her own. 

1. The Sixth Vow

The sixth vow around the holy fire is called two bodies, one soul. The groom and bride promise each other to fill each other’s life with happiness and peace. They pray to be blessed with healthy children and promise to nurture their children with great love and care.

1. The Seventh Vow 

The last vow around the holy fire, the seventh round is when they have become husband and wife. After this vow, their souls are united with a divine thread of love and togetherness till eternity. They promise to abide by the vows that they have taken with pure and true intentions.

The Perfect Match

This is a story about two happily married people, Praveena and Vignesh who met through our website

Praveena, the bride is from Bangalore. She joined our service on 16th September 2020, through one of our free registration campaigns.On the other hand, Vignesh, the groom is from Chennai. He joined Kalyanamalai Scheme on 24th June 2019.

Praveena’s mother, Mrs. Sakila Annadurai says 

“We got to know about Kalyanamalai through one of our Sun TV shows. Kalyanamalai Mohan. Mohan Sir helps in finding the perfect match along with Kalayanamalai’s Executive Miss. Radhika. Four to five profiles were sent to us but we weren't completely satisfied, but later we received a profile from Chennai and that was Mr.Vignesh. We all liked the profile and asked Radhika Ma’am to proceed."

As soon as we got a green signal from Praveena's side, we sent her profile to Vignesh and his family.

And they matched!

Covid 19 was at its peak in 2020 but that didn't stop the magic from happening. Praveena's and Vignesh’s horoscope were exchanged and both the families got in touch and took this forward virtually, thanks to video calls.  

Vignesh's family also applied for an E-pass but unfortunately, that couldn't get through. But as you all know, the third time's the charm - they finally got the pass and visited Praveena and her family in Bangalore. Praveena and Vignesh met and they liked each other and decided to proceed with the alliance. The engagement date was fixed for 26th October 2020. On 18th October 2020, Praveena and her family visited Vignesh's house. 

Despite the pandemic, the engagement ceremony was beautiful. The wedding date was fixed for the 4th of February 2021 and it was a Mudhalayar wedding. The wedding took place in Porur and it was remarkable. 

Being super happy and satisfied with the partner search experience at Kalyanamalai, Praveena's parents have now registered Praveena's sister for the prospect search.

We wish Praveen and Vignesh a good and blessed life ahead. 

Who we marry is one of the most important decisions in life!
