About Vivah
A Hindu marriage is a sequence of rites over a day rather than a single ceremony. The pandit's part runs from the mandap puja and the Ganesh sthapana through the kanyadaan, the panigrahan, the laja homa into the fire, and the saptapadi — the seven steps, which is the point at which the marriage is complete in the tradition.
What surrounds it varies by region and by family: the haldi, the mehndi, the baraat's reception, the jaimala. The pandit is booked for the muhurat, which is calculated for the couple and frequently falls late at night, and the rite runs three to four hours from the mandap puja to the vidaai.
Keeping a rite in Gaya
Gaya's ritual year is organised around the ancestral rites, and everything else is arranged in the spaces around them. Through Pitru Paksha the town's pandits are committed for the fortnight and a domestic booking is hard to place; the months either side are open.
The town is also where families arrive rather than live, so a rite here is often kept at a lodging or on the Falgu rather than at a home. Samagri is easy to buy close to Vishnupad and the ghats, which is where most of it is sold.
