The Arya Samaj wedding has no elaborate rituals. The wedding rites are few, but rich in significance, and the Vedic mantras chanted during the process are explained to the couple so that the significance is not lost on them. The Arya Samaj wedding is an option for people of all religions – any one can have an Arya Samaj wedding. The pre-wedding and post-wedding ceremonies depend on the regional and cultural background of the couple. An Arya Samaj wedding is centered around fire worship and marks the transition of the couple from Brahmacharya ashram (the state of celibacy) to Grihasth-ashram (the life of a married person).
WEDDING RITUALS:-
The Rituals for the Bride and Groom:
The wedding ceremony begins in an Arya Samaj wedding hall with the bride and groom exchanging garlands. The bride garlands the groom first. She hands him a pitcher of water. He washes his feet, then his hands, and finally, his face. ‘This is the way a good wife must welcome her husband,’ is the message that this ceremony conveys. Now the bride must put a mixture of curd, ghee and honey into the cupped palms of the groom. He scatters the mixture in all directions and consumes what remains. This ritual is called madhupark se satkaar. The combination of curd, honey and ghee is a known ayurvedic cure for indigestion and any other imbalances in the body. The rite indicates the commitment of the couple – the wife’s to feed and nurture her family, and the husband’s to provide for his family without harming Mother Nature.
Thread Ceremony and Yagnya:
The groom wears a sacred thread. The yagnya begins. It symbolizes worshiping an element of nature fire. At the end of the yagnya, alms are given away.
Kanya Daan:
Kanya Daan literally means ‘giving away the girl.’ The parents of the bride must give their daughter away to her new family. The priest recites mantras from the Vedas which are repeated by the couple as they hold hands. They seek the blessings of those present so that their love for each other may grow strong. At the end of this ceremony, the couple go around the sacred fire.
Pratigya Mantra:
The groom holds the bride’s hand and together, they take their wedding vows The couple walk around the fire at the end of this ceremony.
Shilarohan:
The brother of the bride places her foot on a stone, while the groom recites mantras. The significance of this ceremony is to convey the brother’s blessings to the couple, especially the bride. He expresses the wish that their marriage be as firm and steady as the rock on which he has placed his sister’s foot. By touching her foot, he conveys that the bride is now responsible for upholding the honour of her family. He offers his sister puffed rice to assure her that, after her wedding, she would always have plenty to take back following every visit to her parents’ home. Another significance of giving her the rice husk is to tell her that she has been brought up by her parents and like the rice husk must now be replanted in another home in order to blossom and mature.
Parikrama:
The couple go around the sacred fire four times during this ceremony. The bride prays for the health of her husband and for a healthy, happy marital relationship with him. The groom makes a promise towards the end of the ceremony. He promises to be reverential and respectful towards all women.
Saptapadi-kriya:
The ends of bride’s saree and the groom’s shawl are tied together. The saptapadi-kriya or seven steps taken by the couple signify their seven needs: nourishment, strength, wealth obtained through honest means, good health, progeny, good luck and a loving relationship. At the end of this ceremony, the older members of the family sprinkle water on the couple. This is their way of advising them to be calm and good-tempered at all times.
Suryadarshan:
The couple worship another element of nature – the sun – during this ceremony
Hriday Sparsh:
The couple touch each other’s hearts and promise to be tender-hearted and gentle with each other.
Sindoor Daan:
The groom fills the parting on the bride’s head with sindoor or vermilion. He does this thrice. This ritual done, all present must bless the newly weds.
Dhruv Darshan:
The newly-weds view the Dhruv or the Pole Star. The Pole Star is important as it symbolizes constancy – a virtue that’s important in every marriage. They also view two stars of the Great Bear constellation – Arundhati and Vasisth. These stars, never viewed separately, symbolize togetherness.
POST-WEDDING RITUALS
Reception:
The reception is usually held at a banquet hall or in the wedding hall itself. It is an occasion for blessing the couple and sharing a meal with them.
Taking off the Chudha (Bangles):
The chudha that had been worn by the bride on the day of her wedding is taken off a couple of months later (the time period is between 1 month to 1 year depending on personal beliefs) by her sister-in-law. She presents the bride with a set of new clothes and jewellery on this day.

ABOUT
Arya Samaj Mandir (Temple)
It is proud to be part of the Arya worldwide parivaar (family), a movement formed by Swami Dayanand Saraswati.
Swami Dayanand Saraswati, one of the greatest leaders ever to emerge from India, founded the Arya Samaj in 1875. The most unique of his many contributions was to make a powerful and original commentary on the Vedas, which exposed serious errors in previous translations and interpretations of its Sanskrit texts. The Arya Samaj (movement) was begun to revive the study of the Vedas and to worship one God. Dayanand defined Aryas as ‘those who are true in word, deed and thought, promote public good and are learned.’
In that it upholds the primacy of the Vedas as its only authoritative scriptures, the Arya Samaj is related to orthodox Hinduism. In many other ways, however, the Arya Samaj is a revolutionary movement. That there is only one God and one alone (monotheism) is a fundamental doctrine of the Arya Samaj. God is formless; hence you can make no picture, idol or image of him. Thus the Arya Samaj is vehemently against idolatry, statues and the worship of animals (e.g. cows) and humans because God is unchangeable (he cannot incarnate). Therefore Rama, Krishna and all other great prophets were men and not God and should not be worshipped as God.
Truth (truth in the soul, truth in the vision, truth in the intention and truth in the act) and morality (dharma) are the other fundamental bedrocks of Vedic teaching
The Arya Samaj also focuses greatly on the welfare of all humanity through altruism and charity (the Samaj opened the first non-Christian orphanages in India) and by teaching that all should be treated with love, justice and on their merits. Dayanand, therefore, was `heretical’ in his total rejection of the caste system or any form of discrimination based on social class.
The eighth principle of the Arya Samaj’s creed states that ‘ignorance must be dispelled and knowledge be disseminated’. With this emphasis on education Dayanand argued passionately that the Vedas do not prohibit education of females (the Arya Samaj was the first to open girls’ schools in India) and of the ‘lower’ castes, but insist on it.
He concluded his best-known book Satyarth Prakash (Light of Truth) by saying that ‘I do not believe in sectarian wrangling since the clashing between various sectarian creeds has led people astray and turned them into each other’s enemies. The sole aim of my life is to help put an end to this mutual wrangling by preaching universal truths whereby they may cease to hate each other and instead may firmly love one another, live in peace and work for their common good and happiness…. I believe in a religion based on universal principles which have always been accepted as true by mankind and will continue to command the allegiance of mankind in the ages to come, and that is above the hostility of all human creeds whatsoever.’
