A Look at Pre Wedding Rituals in a Telugu Marriage


Andhra Pradesh is the home town of people speaking telugus. India is a diverse country, where every city has its own charm and glamour. One thing that is uniformly seen in Andhra Pradesh is that people generally stick with a wedding invite that gives glimpse of their glorious customs and culture. These cards are available in online wedding invitation card stores exclusively under the name of Telugu Wedding Invitation Card.


Muhurtham This is the first major ritual that actually onsets the marriage ceremonies. This is also known or referred to as the Muhurthum. The idea is to choose an auspicious date and time when the wedding and other marriage occasions can be held. The date and time is chosen post a lot of research on the astrological significance. The dates are decided by the family members and the astrologer.


Pendlikoothuru This is one of the most auspicious wedding ceremonies amongst all. In this, a turmeric paste made with ground turmeric and oil is smeared all over the bride and the groom separately. This ritual is known to take place in their individual homes. This manly aid in cleansing the skin and ensure that the bride & groom have natural and radiant glow for the main wedding.


Snathakam This ritual is known to be held at the bridegroom’s residence, right before the Muhurtham. The groom is asked to adorn a silver thread on him as part of the tradition. In most customs, this ritual is known to take place few hours before marriage, generally on the morning of the occasion.


Kashi Yatra Vedic chants are recited by the family priest and repeated by the groom. Post recital, the groom pretends that he will leave on a Kashi Yatra. He shows his desire to renounce the life that he is leaving and become a priest. This is when the bride’s mother actually holds him back and asks him to take the charge of the home and get married.
