Uttarakhandi Wedding Rituals & Puja – Sacred Union in the Devbhoomi Tradition

In the land where gods reside—Uttarakhand, marriage is not just a social bond but a sacred spiritual journey. Rooted in ancient Vedic customs and enriched by the local traditions of Garhwal and Kumaon, a Uttarakhandi wedding is performed with devotion, discipline, and the divine blessings of Kuldevtas and ancestral energies.
