Wedding Affair

|

June - July 2023

As the groom wraps the Thali, or the sacred thread around the bride's neck, prayers and blessings are showered upon the couple during Kalyanam, symbolizing their everlasting commitment, love, and respect - every note resonating with promises of a lifetime

KETTU KALYANAM MALAYALI WEDDING

Amidst the pulsating beats of tradition and the sweet fragrance of jasmine, a divine South Indian wedding takes centre stage, weaving together moments of joy and everlasting love. The bride, adorned in her elegant asav saree, emanates nd and asav shirt. Aromatic strands of jasmine delicately cascade from intricately braided hair, scenting the atmosphere with a delightful fragrance. As the religious chants resound, the couple proclaims their eternal bond. From the enticing feast of adhya, which comprises a variety of exquisite vegetarian delights, to the frenetic beats of traditional music and dance, every moment vibrates with the vivid spirit of Kerala s rich culture.

Among the numerous customs and rituals that enrich the occasion of a Hindu-Malayali wedding in Kerala, one that really stands out for its freshness and vibrant ceremonies is ett a yanam. This age-old tradition, strongly ingrained in the state s cultural history, assembles families, communities, and cultures for an extravagant yet personal celebration.

ett a yanam, which literally translates as tying the knot, represents the sacred union of two souls, promising a lifetime of love, solidarity, and shared dreams. This ageless tradition is common among the amanthan, air, aarar, and mba avasi communities in the southern part of Kerala. ischayam, or the official engagement ceremony marks the beginning of this auspicious occasion, where the families exchange gifts, and pour their unequivocal support for the union. The joyful festivities that follow bind not only the pair but also their families, forming a bond that stretches beyond the bride and groom.
