Day 4- Tilak

The Tilak ceremony is a crucial pre-wedding ritual in Hindu marriages, signifying the formal acceptance of the groom by the bride's family, acting as an engagement or "handshake" of commitment. Held at the groom's house or a temple, the bride's father or brother applies a red vermillion (kumkum) mark on the groom's forehead, accompanied by gifts, sweets, and, in some traditions, a sword or jewelry to symbolize protection and prosperity.

In Vishy’s case, it was held at his home. There was also a ritual called Choomna, which means “kissing”- in which all the women close to the groom bless the wedding ring by kissing it 5 times. I put all my good energy and love into those
kisses!!

Another beautiful day spent with one of my favorite families on earth 💖Læs mere
