White female horse – We all must have enjoyed a lot of “Baraats”, but, have we ever noticed why the groom rides to the bride’s place on a female horse? This is because according to the mythology, the female horse represents the five senses in the body and sitting on the horse and pulling on the rope means controlling the five senses. Marriage is a transformation of a person from a childhood to adulthood, hence, controlling the five sense, signifies that a person has overcome from a phase of behaving a child and now it’s time to take the responsibilities towards yourself and the family, elucidates the Shwetambar Jain Marriage bureau site in India.
Exchange of garlands (Varmala) – A first ceremony between the bride and groom on the wedding day is the exchange of garlands (Varmala in Hindi) represents that the couple will bow in front of the society keeping their egos aside.
Why marriages are restricted during Chaturmas –According to Indian Calendar, Chaturmas are the four months from July to mid-October, which are considered as the phase of a negative state of mind. It is believed that during this phase, a person’s negative state of mind is at its peak, full of unfulfilled desires, strongly fluctuating emotions; and thus, if marriage happens during this phase, there are more chances of divorce or separations.
Permission and blessing of ancestors for the marriage –Shwetambar Jain Matrimony states that taking permission and blessing of the family’s ancestors is prior to all auspicious wedding ceremonies. Generally, it is believed that praising the ancestors before the wedding ceremonies signify a message that the ancestors have not been forgotten and still the family admires them on first priority.
Hence, every tradition and saying has a significant meaning behind them and Shwetambar Jain Matrimonial Bureau has brought those meanings into the light so that you never bother about those traditions. And if anyone asks you the reason for them, you have answers to it.
