Marriage Then vs Now… How  so far we can differniate….

Marriage is often called as shadi in hindi , kalyanam in Tamil , Marriage in English and so far. 
But today I am going to share some important ritual happens in different religious or caste. But every marriage has the only moto to have a good family bonding with each other.

In Hindu marriage, in olden days it takes 4 to 5 days to complete the marriage rituals  , first day they do the "Engagement" (nichayathartham) with two bride families and then they have their lunch and dinner and do the work for marriage because in olden days joint families are available so they are do the cooking , decoration and all essential things. 

But Now a days we are given to the catering services or any other peoples to make it for money.

In olden days they are do it with happiness and prayers, but in catering services they are do for the job because we giving money to them to make. In that we never expect the blessings or happiness in decoration.

In Hindu marriage second day they called it as "naandhi" ( respect to the grand parents ) to get the blessings from the golden parents.

But now a days some of the families are not doing this rituals. I think its very important for the newly couple to get their grand parents blessings through this.

And I thought some of them skip the rituals due to money or some personal reasons.

It must be shorted while making the marriage.

And third day of the marriage they do Mappilai alaipu ( welcoming  the bride). In olden days it was done for the sake of the village people to saw his Son-in-law  in the decorative car and welcome him.

But In now a days, In most of the cities, this was not happening due to the insufficient of the roads or traffics. In this generations couples are also like to do reception only.

And Fourth day of the Marriage, The marriage will happen between the “Muhurtham” (good moment) with the blessings of the parents and goddess. In between the Marriage there are some events happening like Oonjal , Malai mattruthal etc.,

I think in this generation like this kind of activities like Oonjal , Malai matruthal functions. And they enjoying the moment and capturing it.

And I want to mention about the wonderful invention (i.e) camera , Photography etc. I think this generation couples are enjoying and love for capturing the images and they have the memories with colorful painting or images.

 But it was not available in our grand parents time, They don't have the memories like this. They even don't know the Marriage date to celebrate. But our generations are celebrating the engagement day, propose day , Dating day etc,.

 Next year they are celebrating the each and every moment with love and lots of gift sharing . Even though our grand parents don't have the culture but they are also having this kind of bonding with each others.

These are the some rituals I liked and I pass in my life so I want to share some of them and these are the things did for some reasons by our grand parents.
