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 Nalanda
Nalanda district is small towns and villages around Bihar Sharif, and the custom kept is Magadh's — explained in Magahi more often than in Hindi, and following the practice of a particular tract rather than of the district. Households describe their rites as their village's, and they are right to.
There is space here that a city does not have, so havans and open-air rites are straightforward. Samagri for anything beyond the common list is bought in Bihar Sharif or brought from Patna, which is an hour and a half away.
