Kumaoni Marriage Ceremony Puja – A Sacred Union in the Lap of Devbhumi

Kumaoni weddings from the hills of Uttarakhand are deeply spiritual, simple yet profound, and rich with Vedic customs and local traditions. The marriage rituals reflect the deep-rooted culture of the Kumaoni people, blending Pahadi folk elements with Sanatan Dharma.

The Kumaoni marriage puja is not just a ritual—it’s a soulful journey that unites two families and invokes blessings from Kuldevtas, ancestral spirits, and the divine deities of the Himalayas.
