Attending a Bhartiya hindu wedding as a foreigner in Gujarat, India/ My viewpoint as an European

- Опубликовано: 20 янв 2024
- In December we had the luxury to attend an Bhartiya wedding that took place in Gujarat. It was truly one of the most magnificent and unique experiences of our lives.
Thank you Preksha for having us!
A lot of things are done so differently in India and weddings are no exception. Starting from the clothes that people wear to celebrations and fuctions that happen during weddings - it was truly amazing to see and a blessing to be immersed in such diversity.
I don't think I have ever seen that much colour in one place! I didn't know what to focus on, I had a hard time soaking in everything at once.
This wedding was just a highlight from our trip to Bharat so more videos are yet to come. See you in the next video from this amazing journey through Gujarat, India.
#india #bharat
All the information I gathered for the video I did on my own so I apologize for potentially confusing the meaning of something.
Proud To a Bangladeshi Hindu 😊🕉️💜👏🇧🇩
And tnQ My Culture Prmte
💜😊👏Hare Krishna Radhe Radhe / Jai Ma Kali💜👏🕉️
Be safe broo 👍
Polish people are so polite and calm My dream is to visit Poland once in my life 🇮🇳❤️
Thanks, you should visit Gdańsk or Krakow!
@@aleksandrapekala thanks for suggesting ❤️🇮🇳
Lol 😂😂😂😂
She need views !
😂😂😂
Racist country 👈🤢🤮🤮
We Hindu's are peace loving people. We follows our traditions from thousands of year. India is richest cultural nation. Jai Shri Ram 🙏🙏
Hospitality in Bharat is just something amazing :) it's so true
If you love Bhartiya culture, then I would really recommend you to read the Bhagavad Gita. Hare Krishna 🪷
@@1ngliswhat wrong with you
He just recommended to read Bhagavad Gita
bhagavad gita is more than a religious books it teaches lessons which we should learn and apply in our life and it gives you that type knowladge that should no any book can give you , even so many famous physicist readed it so, it is different book than any other religious book @@1nglis
She just came to experience her friend's wedding. She never said "I love Bharatiya culture so much, I love it".
U can't just jumpstart anything anywhere, outta context. If someone wants anything s/he will always find it in this cyber world. By the way there are ISKCON Mandirs in her nation to guide anyone who's interested.
Don't jump guns n loss ur dignity. 🕉🚩🌷
@@garbage4698 what's wrong in sharing ancient Bharatiya knowledge with somebody who loves Bharat? Knowledge is the only thing that increases by sharing. Hare Krishna
@@1nglischill , she's not gonna become hindu just by reading that book ,even most of us Haven't read that , he's just recommending, only for interest
Very warm welcome in Gujarat 🙏🏻
Thank you so much!
@@aleksandrapekala❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@aleksandrapekala and also very warm welcome in Bihar (India)
@@aleksandrapekala come here in India
@@aleksandrapekala medam Hindu dress....u r a angel look wow... that's sanathan darm buty
It's look like a Indian marriage documentary, Netflix should hire you😅, BTW you r looking so beautiful in Indian outfits ❤
Thank you so much! Maybe one day haha
Great work. You not only record all the rituals but tried to give information and meanings of them. It shows how you are connecting to ancient Hindu culture.
Thanks, I tried to do my research
@@aleksandrapekala YOU ARE A FAIRYTALE PRINCESS 👸❤️
Indian weddings mean families and generations coming together to make the day unforgettable for the couple👩❤️👨 and those in attendance. Every ritual and every mantra works to strengthen the love❤ shared by the couple and the families involved.An Indian groom typically wears a turban with a veil of flowers to protect him from evil spirits🧿. The parents give the bride away🙌, but they do not eat before the wedding to remain pure for the occasion. The bride's saree is tied to the groom's scarf to symbolize the union of the souls.Is called aa Our Bharat🫶. Jai Hind Jai Bharat🇮🇳.
Oh I see, thanks for sharing that!
Why are Indians obsessed with white people ?
Thanks fot sharing. Love from 🇮🇳🇮🇷
Thanks 😊 greetings from Poland!
@@aleksandrapekalaPolska 😊
Welcome in gods land Bharat ❤
Thank you!
What an honour, to be invited to attend such a beautiful ceremony, such a breataking and incredible experience. Many thanks to the family for allowing you to not only attend but to share this.
That’s right! I really appreciate this privilege
If you are in India You should Visit Ayodhya, Vrindavan and Mayapur
In Mayapur and Vrindavan has lot of foreigners
Bcz Of Iskcon Temple
Have you ever visit Any iskcon temple in your country or India.
❤Hare Krishna Hare Rama🕉️
Thanks for the information!
No I haven’t visited yet
reason behind haldi ritual
It's beautiful mustard yellow hue is auspicious in Indian tradition representing a life of prosperity for the couple about to begin their new life together. A common reason why Haldi is used for this ceremony is to rid the couple of Buri Nazar, the Sanskrit term for evil eye.
Oh I see, thanks for sharing :)
Urdu.
❤Love to India 🇮🇳 from 🇧🇻
Love from 🇵🇱
Amazing & beautiful experience! Thank you kindly for sharing their wonderful journey.
Thanks! It was a pleasure to participate
Dear Aleksandra,
In India, marriage is a very responsible task; every parent wants their son or daughter to marry with pomp and ceremony. I liked that you were on an Indian visit and exploring Indian culture. I hope you will stay here for some more time because if you want to explore India, you must visit 28 states.
Every state has different customs of marriage. Finally, one more thing that you should take care of yourself and stay safe in your India tour plan. In India, the weather and climate vary from state to state.
Yes, I've heard it! Maybe one day I can attend one again
Beautifully shown all the rituals... And also loved your narrative ❤
Thanks! It was definitely a challenge!
@@aleksandrapekala yeah it's visible. Overcoming challenges often leads to growth... Well-done 👍😀
@@bhaskardas1167 so true, thanks!
I can pretty well say that you have done an extensive research about the wedding or had been told to you. Literally, all the beliefs that an Indian wedding has to follow has been explained well and damn right 😮.
PS: If you'll ever explore Delhi, send me an invite....just kidding 😅
Thank you! Friends from Bharat helped me a bit too ;)
Nice to see u in bhartiya sanatani culture, looking more beautiful and prettier than before ❤
In Hinduism, the rites of passage or "sanskars" are considered important rituals that mark key stages in an individual's life. There are traditionally 16 sanskars in total, including marriage. Here is the list:
1. **Garbhadhana** - Conception
2. **Pumsavana** - Fetus protection
3. **Simantonnyana** - Baby shower, parting of hair
4. **Jatakarma** - Childbirth ceremony
5. **Namakarana** - Naming ceremony
6. **Nishkramana** - First outing
7. **Annaprashana** - First feeding of solid food
8. **Chudakarana** (or **Mundan**) - First haircut
9. **Karnavedha** - Ear piercing
10. **Vidyarambha** - Beginning of education
11. **Upanayana** - Sacred thread ceremony, initiation
12. **Vedarambha** - Start of Vedic studies
13. **Samavartana** - Graduation ceremony
14. **Vivaha** - Marriage
15. **Vanaprastha** - Retirement, forest-dweller stage
16. **Antyeshti** (or **Antyesti**) - Funeral rites
These sanskars serve as milestones throughout a Hindu's life, from conception to funeral, encapsulating cultural values and religious beliefs.

If you're still here in India then you must visit Rajasthan once, especially in this weather and season of mustard crop, whole state looks just stunning.
Oh adding this to my travel list! 😉
There are so many rituals and regional and even familial variations that as Indians most of us don't think about what the meaning of each and every small tradition is :)
Very true! 😅
Full of joy , Happiness and Entertainment 🎉🎉❤❤
That’s right! 😄
Welcome to India ❤

So it was a Gujarati wedding🔥🔥🔥! Jai Shree Krishna
There is a documentary about Indian maharaja who adopted nearly about 1000 polish childrens who became orphans during WW1 or 2 i guess. He was a strict Hindu but he made church for them and a different polish library so that they can learn their mother language and stay connected to their roots. All the childrens live their whole life in royalty. He's known as 'the good maharaja' in Poland,you can research about him.
I know this history, it’s very interesting!
@@aleksandrapekala noice❤️
Hope your wonderful journey to in my beautiful India 🇮🇳🇮🇳

Yellow colour is not only for matching but a pious color in religious function.

Wish you had included original sound/musical bits several places to bring more authenticities of original music being performed due to occasion!
When I edited the video, music was cut in random places and it didn’t sound very good 😊 I try to leave sound when I can
