Indian Wedding Flower Garland
Indian weddings are very bright events, filled with ritual and celebration, that continue for several days. They are not small affairs,anywhere between 100-10000 people attending (many of whom are unknown to the bride and groom).
Hindu wedding is thought to be the bringing of two people who are said to be compatible. Hindu wedding ceremonies are traditionally conducted at least partially in Sanskrit, the language of most holy Hindu ceremonies.
Hwaeom is the name of the Korean transmission of the Huayan school of Chinese Buddhism.
Nair Wedding - Kozhikode (Calicut), Kerala, India
A Nair (a Hindu community in Kerala) wedding in progress (at the auditorium of the Azhakodi Devi Temple, Kozhikode or Calicut). The bridegroom and bride are seated with flower garlands round their necks while the priest (standing wth back to camera) performs the religious rites. The flower decorations and the arrays of brass oil lamps, small and large, were awesome!
