Pratik & Surabhi's story
Surabhi & Pratik — Where Creativity Meets the Mountains 🤍🏔️
Our story is not just about two hearts, but two worlds blending into one beautiful journey. Pratik, a professional mountaineer, finds his spirit in the mighty Himalayas, while I, Surabhi, a costume designer in the film industry, express stories through art, fabric, and imagination. Together, we don’t just travel the world — we live every landscape we cross.
Our wedding reflects our souls. Set amidst serene mountains, our celebration is inspired by travel, wildlife, maps, and the living spirit of the earth. Every detail is rooted in nature and the philosophy of Panchamahabhuta — earth, water, fire, air, and space.
From animal and forest motifs to mountain textures and earthy tones, even our outfits are designed to mirror this deep connection.
This is not just a wedding; it is our greatest expedition — where creativity meets nature, art meets adventure, and two travelers begin their forever journey together. 🌍✨

Engagement

haldi
The Haldi ceremony is one of the most heartwarming pre-wedding rituals in a Maharashtrian wedding, marking the sacred beginning of the celebrations. Rooted in tradition and filled with warmth, this golden ritual brings families together in laughter, music, and blessings. Turmeric, considered pure and auspicious, is lovingly applied to the bride and groom at their respective homes, symbolizing protection, positivity, and a radiant new start.
The ceremony begins after seeking blessings from Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles. Married women (suvasinis) apply fragrant haldi mixed with sandalwood and rose water, showering heartfelt wishes for happiness and prosperity.
As traditional songs fill the air, family members dance, tease, and celebrate with pure joy. In every smile and every playful touch of haldi, the ceremony reflects love, culture, and the beautiful promise of new beginnings. ✨
Sangeet
The Sangeet ceremony in a Maharashtrian wedding is a night where tradition meets celebration in the most joyful way. As the beats of lively Marathi songs fill the air, families come together to dance, sing, and celebrate the union of two hearts. From classic lavani rhythms to modern Marathi hits, every performance becomes a memory to cherish.
Dressed in vibrant traditional attire, the bride and groom are surrounded by cousins, friends, and elders who light up the stage with energetic dance performances. The evening becomes even more magical when talented creative artists and performers add sparkle to the celebration, turning the wedding into a grand cultural fest.
Full of laughter, music, and endless enjoyment, the Maharashtrian Sangeet is not just a function — it is a celebration of love, art, family bonds, and unforgettable moments. 💛✨

Vidhi saptapadi
A Maharashtrian wedding is a sacred blend of devotion, emotion, and timeless traditions. The ceremony begins with auspicious Vedic chants, creating a divine atmosphere as the bride and groom prepare to unite in holy matrimony. One of the most emotional rituals is Kanyadan, where the bride’s parents lovingly place her hand into the groom’s, entrusting him with her happiness and future. This sacred act symbolizes blessings, acceptance, and the union of two families.
The couple then performs the Saptapadi, the seven sacred steps taken together around the holy fire. With each step, they make lifelong promises of love, strength, prosperity, family, trust, and companionship.
These beautiful Maharashtrian wedding rituals are not just customs — they are soulful vows that bind two hearts together for a lifetime. ✨
Varmala , Mangalasthak
In a Maharashtrian wedding, the chanting of Mangalashtak is one of the most divine and awaited moments of the ceremony. As the bride and groom stand facing each other with the sacred antarpat held between them, the priest begins reciting the auspicious verses. Each shloka is filled with blessings, invoking prosperity, happiness, and harmony for the couple’s new journey. With every verse, family members shower akshata (sacred rice) upon the couple, creating a beautiful shower of blessings and joy.
As the final line is chanted, the antarpat is gently lowered, and the bride and groom exchange garlands amid cheers, music, and heartfelt smiles. The atmosphere becomes emotional yet celebratory, as the sound of “Savadhan!” marks the sacred union. Mangalashtak is not just a ritual — it is a powerful, poetic blessing that marks the beginning of a lifelong bond. ✨
