Engagement Ceremony

A milestone celebrated to signify the willingness to get married shortly thereafter.

The engagement ceremony is a celebration of love, family, and the most important milestone of a couple’s life. However, Hindu culture has a large number of divisions and categories. And apparently, they all have their own rituals and ethnicity.

As per some beliefs, an engagement ceremony is not a part of Hindu weddings. It is mainly derived from western culture. But evidently, it is accepted that different cultures have different rituals to official the wedding, which is considered their own type of engagement ceremony.

Some communities have series of rituals, and some have a tiny gathering of relatives of both families. Vedic experts and priests of respective communities can give the details and guide them to have a perfect engagement ceremony.

Inspired from ancient times, gathering of families, exchanging gifts and sweets, and announcing date for the wedding are still part of Hindu engagement ceremony. However, the modern era has undoubtedly included new elements like ring exchanging, parties, and grand festivities in the engagement ceremony.
Hindu engagement ceremony is still a blurred subject of wedding rituals as it extremely varies from community to community.

In the end, it’s a joyous union of the couple and their families, which should be celebrated with love, laughter, and positivity. Therefore, different rituals and different names of engagement ceremonies include an official announcement in society through an official celebration as one common thing.
