Hast Melap

Hast Melap - Indian Wedding Tradition - Explained through hindu culture and our wedding photography

Hast Melap is one of the very important ceremony of any indian wedding.

Hast=Hand and Melap=Join - so it is joining of two hands - Bride's hand and Groom's hand. Hast Melap happens at very auspicious time. In Indian Wedding Invitation, this is the time that is written as a main event time.

Hindu Priest will find the most auspicious time of the day looking at Indian Bride's birth chart and Indian Groom's birth chart. It is said that at that given moment, planets will be situated at their best to bring harmony and happiness in newly married's lives.

Our expert indian wedding photographer - chirali & amish thakkar have captured countless moments of hast melap in their camera.

During Indian Wedding Ceremony, The ritual of Kanya Daan is ripe with deep religious symbolisms. The indian groom is considered a representation of Lord Vishnu all through the wedding, and during Kanya Daan the parents of bride are offering their daughter, a considerable piece of their existence, for his taking.

Indian Wedding Ceremony also known mainly for Hindu wedding culture, this is considered to be the greatest offering one can present to the Supreme Being and it is believed that upon Kanya Daan the parents of the bride are absolved of all their earthly sins, and are said to attain moksha, relief from the cycle of birth, death and rebirth.

 

On the other hand, it is emphasized during the ritual, that the parents are entrusting hindu groom with the most precious ‘gift’ in this world. It is expected of him that he will always take care of his wife, their daughter, respect her and keep her happy in every way possible.

During Gujarati wedding ceremony, south indian wedding ceremony, Marathi wedding ceremony, Bengali wedding ceremony, brahmin wedding ceremony, Punjabi wedding ceremony, Sikh Wedding ceremony, muslim wedding ceremony – Kanya Daan is always performed in one way or the other way – keeping the meaning and motive of the wedding ceremony.

 

The ritual, while it might seem a bit misogynistic at its core, is not just a Hindu tradition, but equivalent traditions may be noticed in Christian and Jewish weddings where the father of the bride leads her to the wedding altar and ‘gives her away’ to the groom.

  Kanyadaan is the biggest achievement for any family man, the greatest ‘daan’ or gift of all. The ritual is enmeshed with a lot of emotions that undermine the religious side of the process. It exemplifies the bond between a father and a daughter and their mutual love.
