Jain marriages are performed under a 'mandap'. Many days before the marriage, the structure is built and a 'vedi', which is altar of the sacred fire, is built. 'Pheras' are taken after this. An auspicious moment is decided for the 'pheras'. Bride and groom are taken to the mandap for conducting pheras and seated; the girl is seated on the right side of the groom. Generally, kanyapradhan ceremony is performed at the pheras. One rupee and twenty paisa are kept with rice on the right hand of the bride. Then father of the bride publicly hands the girl to the groom. seven vows are taken by the couple together. 'Havan' is performed after this, and the holy water is poured on the hands of the boy and girl together. The priest chants the mantras at this occasion to bind the boy and girl in a sacred relationship, ans the ceremony is done. For your traditional Jain wedding, hire Babylon Productions!
