The Mandap Ceremony
The Mandap ceremony takes place under a large canopy supported by 4 pillars. The pillars represent the 2 sets of parents that raised the bride and groom. The canopy is traditionally decorated with bamboo and red and silver colors. The ceremony usually takes place in the brides house or the wedding venue. In the ceremony, the bride and groom are blessed by their elders. Rituals are performed and Vedic hymns are recited by a priest, done around a sacred fire.
