Arya Samaj Mandir Varanasi wedding procedure
If you look closely at how marriages are performed across India, you’ll notice the customs differ from state to state. Bihar has its own style of wedding, Maharashtra follows a Maharashtrian marriage, Gujarat has a Gujarati wedding, South India has its own South Indian ceremony, and Punjab follows a Punjabi wedding tradition.
The marriage ceremony is one of the 16 Sanskars (sacred rites), and these rites originate from the Vedas, which date back to the beginning of the universe. When the ancient rishis first laid down these rites, states like Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Punjab did not even exist. The rishis created these rites for the welfare of all humanity, without regional distinctions. That is why Arya Samaj continues to perform these sanskars in the same original Vedic form, exactly as the rishis and munis of ancient times intended.
Arya Samaj Marriage in Varanasi is known for its simplicity, and it is both quicker and considerably more affordable. It follows the Vedic rules and is legally valid under the Arya Samaj Marriage Validation Act, 1937 with provisions of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955.
