Indian Wedding (Brief)

Image
Indian weddings are branched out into many kinds which differ significantly according to religion, caste, belief or language spoken. Fundamentally, all Indian wedding ceremonies are rich in rituals and traditions with the involvement of a Brahmin priest except for the Dravidian Indian wedding that would be conducted without a priest and mantras but all the rituals carried out will be explained by an elderly in a medium that is understandable to all. The classic musical instrument, “Nadaswaram” will be played throughout the occasion to bring glory and grace to the function.

I will share my thoughts and be opinionated without the desperate need to "win" an argument. Radical Empathy:I choose to trust. I choose to give the benefit of the doubt. Though m...
