Operation Sindoor !

Operation Sindoor has been in limelight since last few days. While it was the highlight of the indo-pak ongoing war for last couple of days, it was in limelight for our home too because of the much anticipated marriage program of my neice. The marriage was over last night after the groom put sindoor on the bride's head.

Sindoor, or vermilion powder, holds significant importance in Hindu culture, particularly for married women. It is a symbol of marital status, a mark of devotion, and is believed to bring prosperity and good fortune. It also has health benefits, traditionally believed to include cooling the body and enhancing sexual drive.

Sindoor is an integral part of Indian culture and tradition, especially in Hindu weddings. It reflects the rich heritage and customs associated with marriage. The wearing of sindoor is a personal choice, but it is generally considered a mark of respect and pride for a married woman. In Hindu weddings, the bride applies sindoor during the wedding ceremony, marking the beginning of her married life. It signifies her commitment and dedication to her husband. Married women apply sindoor to seek blessings and protection for their family. Sindoor is considered a manifestation of Shakti, the divine feminine energy. It is believed to connect a woman to the universal feminine power.

Our entire clan was busy for the wedding sunce last few month. As expected it was going to be a gala even, and rightly so, it ended up in big celebration. The marriage was official once the sindoor were applied on bride forehead. The rituals was a lengthy process and was happy to see e erything finalised on good note. I will try to bring more update in the later post.

In good faith - Peace!!
