- Telugu_wedding_ceremony abstract "The Telugu wedding ceremony (Telugu: తెలుగు వివాహ వేడుక, Telugu Vivāha Vēḍuka ?) is the traditional wedding ceremony of the Telugu people in India. In the 19th century, the ceremony could last up to 16 days(Padhahaaru rojula panduga). In modern times, it can last 5 or more days, depending on the family's financial and social status.Vivaham or Wedding considered the strongest of social bonds, is said to spiritually merge two souls opening the doors to "Gruhastaashramam" (household life). As per a Telugu saying, "marriage is supposed to be a family union and not an individual formality".Telugu marriage is sanctified by seven pledges made by the bride and groom and commences when the bride and groom have completed seven revolutions around a sacred fire. Symbolic gestures and rituals encompass the ceremony and ensure that the bride and groom are united in the presence of Panchabhutaalu (Five essential elements for life) namely Bhumi (Earth), Akaasham (Sky), Agni (Fire), Neeru (Water) and Vaayuvu (air). The ceremony is held under the Kaḷyāṇa Maṇḍapaṃ or wedding pavilion decorated with fresh flowers. "Nādasvaram" (also called Shehnai in North India) an Indian musical instrument traditionally accompanies most Telugu weddings.Earlier Groom rides an elephant to Bride's place where wedding is supposed to take place. This process is called "Gajaarohana". Nowadays this tradition is fading out.Some marriages are done in the temple in presence of god but most of them are conducted outside because of the number of people in attendance. After every ceremony they serve food to all the guests which is also the main part of the culture of offering food to anyone who comes on an auspicious day. All the rituals conducted throughout the Telugu wedding ceremony hold religious significance. Each element in the ceremonies is connected with the other and is given special importance. Weddings reflect the customs and the culture of Andhra, and are meant to be reflective of the warm hearts of the Telugu people.The decorations mostly consist of flowers and mango leaves in rich colors. The families renovate their houses and invite all the guests going to each of their houses with the kumkuma.".
