Rituals and Revelry - Unveiling Indian Wedding Traditions

Abstract

Indian weddings reflect strong cultural values and 
familial ties through a vibrant blend of tradition and 
modernity. This study looks at the various marriage 
traditions found throughout India, where every area 
adds its own customs to these happy occasions. 
From the intricate Mehndi ceremonies in the north 
to the sacred nuptials in the south, every practice 
embodies heritage and communal unity. Indian 
weddings make memorable and unique celebrations 
through the incorporation of traditional practices 
with contemporary elements. This research 
highlights the significance of these customs in 
preserving cultural identity and strengthening 
social ties. This project aligns 60-70% with existing 
resources in informational content, while 
surpassing 100% in interactivity and user 
engagement through a map-based interface, hover 
effects, and structured wedding details, setting a 
new standard in cultural documentation. Indian 
weddings also act as a link between generations, 
enabling families to embrace changing social norms 
while maintaining traditional values.
