Step-By- Step Guide To Tamil Hindu Wedding Ceremony

Rituals and customs are an integral part of weddings apart from the mouth-watering delicacies and oh-so-great decorations. Tamil weddings are all about the rituals and customs being performed in its purest and truest sense. With time, weddings have become more of a celebrated event and are losing its original meaning. But not for Tamils! They still hold on to their age-old traditions with utmost dignity. Let’s get a peek into the various Tamil wedding ceremonies and understand what each ritual means to them.

Tamil Brahmin wedding rituals are long and detailed. It starts with matching the horoscopes of the bride and the groom. A priest is called to read out a Lagna Pathrigai to finalize the date, time and venue of the wedding. After this, the groom’s family present the bride with a saree and serve dinner to the bride’s family, who gift them with fruits and sweets. A day before the kalyanam(marriage), the bride’s family arrives at the marriage venue which is decorated beautifully with flowers. The bride’s mother welcomes the groom with a platter of ‘aarthi’ with the traditional instrument ‘nadaswaram’ being played in the background.

The following ceremony is the ‘Viratham’ where both the bride and groom’s family obtain blessings from their respective departed elders. The ritual of sprinkling nine different kinds of grains(Palika) is performed at the same time, for the success of the newlyweds’ life together. The next ritual is called ‘Janavartham and Nischaiyartham’ wherein the groom is escorted to the ‘mandapam’. A ‘lagna Patrika’ is written by the priest in the presence of members of both the families. The groom then commences on a mock pilgrimage ‘Kashi Yatra’. He is dressed in the traditional ‘panchakatcham’, with an umbrella, a fan, a stick and lentils and rice wrapped in a towel which is tied to his shoulder. Just as he is about to leave the ‘mandapam’, the bride’s father pleads with him to marry his daughter instead of going to Kashi. The groom and the bride then garland each other. The bride’s father performs the ritual of ‘Kanyadhanam’, giving away the bride, after which the groom ties the golden necklace known as ‘Thaali’ around the bride’s neck. The couple takes seven sacred steps encircling the holy fire after which they are pronounced as Husband and Wife by the priest.

Tamil Christian wedding rituals are less detailed and are more-or-less like any other Christian wedding. On the wedding day, cousins of the groom arrive at the bride’s place with her wedding dress, jewellery and other pleasantries. The priest blesses the bride’s dress before she wears it. She is received by the groom’s best man at the church after which the wedding mass is performed during which prayers and hymns are chanted by the priest. The Bible is read from both the Old as well as the New Testament, following the Opening Prayer. Once the wedding mass is over, the priest reads out the Opening remarks giving a speech about the significance of marriage. The bride and the groom then utter their wedding vows, promising each other to stay by each other’s side till death does them apart. Their marriage is then glorified by the exchange of wedding rings. This is where the Tamil Christian wedding takes a twist! After the ring ceremony, the groom ties the ‘Thaali’(the golden necklace) around the bride’s neck which has a leaf-shaped pendant with a cross embedded on it. The groom presents the bride with a wedding saree (Matrakodi) after which the newly wedded couple is blessed by the priest and pronounced as Husband and Wife. They hold hands and walk down the aisle to seek blessings from the elders.

The Eternal Relationship Between Tamil Weddings and Gold

The one thing that unites the entire family is a wedding. Tamil weddings are not just about the finger-licking food or bright colours, it’s about the elegance, the simplicity and the week-long rituals performed in it’s most purest form. Although the rituals vary from that of a Brahmin-Tamil family to a non-Brahmin-Tamil family, one thing that remains common is their love for gold!

Gold jewellery is a part of their everyday life. From kids to teenagers, married women to elders, everyone is seen wearing gold ornament in one way or the other. Tamil Nadu happens to be India’s largest gold jewellery market. Gold is not only a part of their everyday attire but it is also an important element in their wedding rituals. The most important of them is Thaali Kattu, tying of the gold necklace.

After the bride and groom have taken seven sacred steps together around the holy fire, which is a common ritual in almost every Hindu wedding, the next ritual that is performed by them is the Thaali Kattu. The groom gifts the bride her wedding dress ‘Koorai’, which is a nine-yard long Kanjeevaram saree and a golden necklace ‘Thaali’. Both the Koorai and the Thaali are placed on a tray and all the members of the family give their blessings to each of the items.

The bride then goes on to change into the Koorai given to him by the groom and returns with a garland in her hand to place it around the groom. He then ties the Thaali around the bride’s neck, which signifies her change in status from a single girl to a married woman. After this ritual, the groom and the bride are pronounced as husband and wife by the priest. The married couple then places garlands around each other while their traditional wedding song is played in the background.

Tamils weddings and gold share a bond stronger than fries and ketchup! From the bride to the long-distant Aunt, everyone is laden with gold in each and every ceremony. And not only the women, men too wear golden chains or bracelets. It is their most precious possession and is often passed on from one generation to another. In a report by World Gold Council’s survey ‘India’s gold market: evolution and innovation’ it was found that, on an average, a Tamil bride is seen wearing approximately 300 grams of gold jewellery on her wedding day!

How to Plan the Perfect Tamil Wedding Ceremony?

Planning a wedding is not an easy job. It takes a lot of preparation and efforts to finally execute things that have been planned. You’ve all heard of Indian weddings. They’re big, loud, colourful and filled with lots of fun. Well, that’s all true and Tamil weddings are no exception. There are lots of functions and rituals that are followed a week before and after the wedding. So plan for all occasions individually.

So here is the checklist for planning your Tamil matrimony and make it an occasion to remember for years to come.

Wedding Venue– The first thing to do while planning a wedding is to book a venue as they get filled up very fast. Tamil weddings are usually held in marriage halls so find the best in your town and book it off as soon as your wedding date is fixed.
Wedding Attire– The most important aspect of any wedding is the wedding ensemble of both the bride and the groom but more stress is laid on the bride’s attire. It is selected much in advance and the accessories to go with it are also decided way before the wedding. A Tamilian bride looks every bit of a Goddess on earth in a beautiful kanjeevaram silk sari, wearing tradition gold jewellery from head to toe and showing off her long braid accessorized with hair jewellery and flowers. The groom, on the other hand, could wear a dhoti and kurta or a sherwani if he wants. Ensure that the wedding outfits for both are decided and kept ready with all the accessories much in advance.
Decor– The decor in Tamil weddings is basic and traditional. A lot of it is done with flowers. The wedding mandap or stage is covered with floral arrangements. The more modern decor would also use drapes, lights and other decorative props for the venue. The main idea is to make the hall look festive, bordering on gaudy. However, now with tastes and trends evolving people have started going in for subdued and classy décor. Ensure that you fix up a decorator much in advance and discuss what you want him to do.
Food– Usually in Tamil Weddings, you will find purely vegetarian food and typically of the state. So it is important that you find good caterers who can produce delicious and authentic Tamilian cuisine.

Now as now the major aspects of Tamil matrimonial, you can easily plan a South Indian wedding for your loved ones. Just fix a budget and work on it to organise the wedding.
