BETROTHAL: THE GROUNDWORK FOR A CHEERFUL FAMILY
The betrothal is a vow to wed. Several things evolved, yet a few significant rites stay consistent. One such ceremony is the engagement. Though the commitment is not a customary ritual in most of the cultures, it remains to attract attention with its exceedingly ritual root. Betrothal marks the time between the marriage proposal and the wedlock. It all starts with the matching of the horoscopes and the blessings from elders. The families tell the world that the bride-to-be is engaged to the groom-to-be.
The betrothal gets its root from the Vedic period ritual Vagdanam. A typical engagement picture would have the exchange of rings. The families get into an agreement on different matters. Generally, an engagement ceremony happens a few months before the wedlock, in recent days, the engagement occurs a day ahead of marriage though.
Royalties practiced an elaborate announcement of the marriage on the day of engagement. Unfortunately, betrothal takes place immediately after the birth of a girl child during Rajputs period. Thankfully, we don’t practice the same custom today.
The engagement time is an auspicious time for both the families where the families look for a long-term mutual bond. Forget about the rituals, roots and historical periods; betrothal is one of the special times for the woman and man of their lifetime. There is no doubt in the fact that an individual spends most of his life with his better half. The entity takes a vivid turn when the man enters the marriage life.
For all the dreams of a man, the woman holds the vision. Life gets super happy when the right person walks into our life. When finding such a person, why postpone the happy decision?
