The Vedic fire ritual in a traditional Hindu wedding.Hindu wedding
Vedic wedding ceremony is the traditional Indian Hindu wedding that includes Vedic yajna – rituals around agni, particularly the seven vows before the fire, with the hymns from the Vedas.[1][2] The roots of this tradition are found in hymn 10.85 of the Rigveda, which is also called the "Rigvedic wedding hymn".[3][4]
The Arya Samaj movement popularized the term Vedic wedding among the Hindu expatriates during the colonial era.[5]
