The Hindu Vedic traditions seldom give us any rituals without meanings. Even the mandap design and décor are rich in meanings. Here are some facts that you might not know.

The four pillars symbolize the four stages of life as per the Hindu Vedas – Brahmacharya, Grihastha, Vanaprastha and Sanyasa. Indeed, it is under this mandap that the groom steps out of his ‘Brahmacharya’ and becomes a Grihastha (a householder). Furthermore, the pillars also signify the four important aspects of a human life – Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha.

The holy fire is the witness – ‘saakshi’ – to the marriage. Vedas tell us that Agni stands for purity and spirituality. So, Agni is always invoked at the beginning of any auspicious event.
