Gujarati Marriage Rituals – A Celebration of Culture, Faith & Family

Gujarati weddings are vibrant, joyful, and deeply rooted in Vedic traditions, often blending devotion with grandeur. Every ritual is designed to invoke blessings from the deities and ensure a prosperous married life filled with love, understanding, and harmony.

📜 Gujarati Marriage Ceremony – Rituals & Puja Sequence

🪔 Pre-Wedding Ceremonies

1. Chandlo Matli
The bride’s family visits the groom’s house with sweets and a symbolic red circle (chandlo) on the groom’s forehead, signifying acceptance.

2. Ganesh Sthapan & Grah Shanti Puja
Performed at both homes to eliminate doshas, invoke Ganesha’s blessings, and ensure smooth rituals.

3. Mehendi & Garba Night

• Bride’s hands are adorned with henna designs.
• A traditional Garba night is hosted where family and friends dance and sing folk songs.

4. Pithi Ceremony (Haldi Ritual)
A paste of turmeric, sandalwood & rose water is applied to the bride and groom for beauty and purification.

5. Mandap Mahurat & Jaan (Welcoming Ceremony)
Mandap is sanctified. The groom arrives in a festive baarat and is greeted by the bride’s mother with an aarti, and playfully tries to grab his nose — a symbolic gesture reminding him to stay humble.

• Kama (desires)
• Moksha (spiritual liberation)

They take seven steps together, each step signifying a sacred vow and blessing for their married life.
