Weddings Rituals

About the Weddings Rituals, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh

Weddings in Lucknow weave together centuries‑old Awadhi traditions and modern celebrations in colourful harmony. Pre‑wedding events typically begin with a Mangni or Roka ceremony, where families formally announce the alliance, exchange gifts and garlands, often followed by a vibrant Mehendi night. Women apply intricate henna patterns, sing folk songs, and celebrate with dance. Next, the Haldi ceremony involves applying turmeric paste to the bride and groom in separate venues, a ritual meant to purify and bless the couple amidst laughter and music. On the wedding day, the Baraat procession arrives at the venue in full festive mode—dressed in sherwanis and sehra turbans, the groom is welcomed by the bride’s family with dwar puja. The couple exchanges garlands (Jaimala), followed by Agni Puja and seven solemn steps (Saptapadi) around the sacred fire, each vow symbolizing companionship, loyalty and mutual respect. Alta may be applied to the bride’s hands and feet and elders perform aarti to ward off the evil eye. Lucknow’s ritual planners such as “Weddings Rituals” on Ashok Marg bring these traditions to life with professional decoration, event gestion, and bespoke design. They specialize in creating marvellous mandaps, Sangeet decor, stage setup, floral decors and catering arrangements curated to Awadhi tastes.
