Prathamesh & Komal's story
In the echoing hall of a table tennis 🏓 destiny paused for a second. That’s where Prathamesh first saw Komal - unaware that someone’s world had just shifted💝. Days passed, but the thought of her didn't. One simple social media request became his bravest move.A click, a notification and two strangers began turning into something more. After two long years of chatting, we finally met over a cup of coffee with endless conversations and the realization that the wait was worth it. Then every weekend, we began at Pataleshwar Temple, seeking blessings from Lord Shiva and then lost ourselves in the streets of Pune. Somewhere between temple bells and city lights, we didn’t just fall in love, we chose each other. With love, patience and belief, families were convinced. Hearts aligned, hands joined and soon came the moment that sealed it all, our Engagement 💍, not just of rings, but of two lives. And now, we are ready to tie the knot. Two souls that met by chance will walk together— forever❤️.

Greetings of both side relatives
This is the basic ritual once the bride and groom reach at the place where wedding will occur. Greetings and giftings from both sides of family.
Haldi
A Haldi ceremony is a vibrant Indian pre-wedding ritual where a paste of turmeric (haldi), oil, and water is applied to the bride and groom for purification, blessings, and glowing skin, symbolizing prosperity and protection from the evil eye before their marriage, filled with joyous music, dancing, and family bonding. This auspicious event, often held the morning of or day before the wedding, involves applying the paste to their face, neck, hands, and feet, after which the couple stays indoors until the ceremony.
Varmala
The Varmala (or Jaimala) ceremony is a joyful Hindu wedding ritual where the bride and groom exchange floral garlands, symbolizing their mutual acceptance, love, and consent to marry, marking the official start of the main wedding rites. This visually striking event, rooted in ancient traditions like Swayamvaras, signifies the couple choosing each other as life partners.
Saptpadi
The Saptapadi is the central, life-binding ritual in Hindu weddings, meaning "seven steps" in Sanskrit, where the bride and groom walk around a sacred fire (Agni) seven times (or take seven steps together), with each round or step representing a specific vow or promise for their shared life, establishing their union legally and spiritually. "7 steps" refers to several concepts, most commonly the Saptapadi (seven steps/vows in Hindu weddings). 1. Nourishment: To provide for each other and share life's bounty. 2. Strength: To support each other's physical and mental well-being. 3. Prosperity: To grow wealthy and share it. 4. Companionship: To be lifelong companions in happiness and sorrow. 5. Family: To raise virtuous children and nurture the family. 6. Health/Harmony: To enjoy the seasons and live in harmony. 7. Friendship/Spirituality: To remain lifelong friends and walk a spiritual path.
Vidai
The Vidai ceremony is an emotional farewell ritual at the end of an Indian wedding where the bride leaves her parental home for her new life with her husband, symbolizing her transition and the family's blessings, marked by her tossing rice/coins for prosperity and her father handing her to the groom, signifying his new responsibility. It's a poignant moment of mixed emotions, celebrating a new beginning while saying goodbye to her childhood.
