Tamilian Wedding - Mumbai Wedding Photographer

This time its a Hindu wedding from me. I must say on the things I liked about this one in particular was that it was during the day. Light is good and loads of colors. Most of the photos are barely edited. I have just tweaked a bit of exposure and temperature here and there that's it rest is all the real deal.

So this is was Kishore and Sireesha who tied the knot in a typical tamilian bhramin style wedding. I think Kishore and Sireesha was a photographers dream couple, who was super co-operative and Tamilian wedding rituals are fun at least I felt so. Here are some of them:

The groom pretends to leave for Kashi, a pilgrimage center to devote himself to God and a life of prayer. He carries a walking stick and other meager essentials with him to imply that he is not interested in becoming a householder. The girl's father intervenes and requests him to accept his daughter as his life partner and to fulfill his responsibilities as a householder The groom relents and is taken to the marriage venue.



The bride's mother washes the groom's feet on his return.



The groom is led to the marriage mandap where he and bride exchange one of their garlands thrice to symbolize their unification.



Then they are seated on a swing and offered milk and bananas by the elder ladies of the house who also throw colored rice balls in four directions to ward off the evil spirits.
