About Vivaha (Wedding Puja)
Vivaha — the sacred bond of marriage — is one of the sixteen samskaras and among the most important rituals in a Hindu's life. The wedding ceremony in Hindu tradition is not merely a social contract; it is a sacred covenant witnessed by Agni, the divine fire, and consecrated through Vedic mantras. GoPuja provides expert pandits for both South and North Indian wedding ceremonies in Bangalore.
When to Perform
Performed on an auspicious date (Subha Muhurta) selected based on the bride and groom's horoscopes, nakshatras, and the Panchang. Popular auspicious periods include Akshaya Tritiya, Vivaha Panchami, and months of Vaishakha and Magha.
