The Hindu Wedding

” Our new launch – ‘The Hindu Wedding’ – is a guide to help readers to understand & organise wedding ceremonies with ease. N.R Kumar has written this book with the intent to understand the wedding rituals and to create a user friendly manual on the ceremonies that go into making a wedding into a successful occassion. The book helps one understand the basic tenets of Hinduism while demystifying the processes involved. Every aspect of a wedding is delved into in this guide to provide clarity for the functions. The book contains some relevant mantras and shlokas in Sanskrit, which are provided meanings and broken in components for simple understanding. Source references are also given along with them. A wedding check-list is given at the end of the book, as part of its useful knowledge. The goal of the book is to clear the sense of burden and heavy responsibility attached to organising a wedding and ease the organisers/parents into enjoying the process, stress-free. The contents are divided into the following parts: Introduction; The Opening Prayers; Catching Up Ceremonies – Bride; Types of Engagement; The Curtain Raisers – Introduction; Wedding; Post-Wedding; Queen of the New Home; Back at Home; The Variations; Andal’s Dream; Epilogue; and finally Glossary of Sanskrit Words used in this book.
