Creative and stylish Mandaps

Superb creative and stylish posh weddings from Do Dil.

The Mandap in traditional Indian weddings can be set up on the floor or on a wedding stage. But the important thing to remember is that the mandap needs to be positioned safely and to adhere to the venue’s health and safety regulations. In Hindu weddings, the havand Kund; the vessel in which the holy fire is lit, known as the ‘Agni’ is lit by the Hindu priest. The Hindu priest will recite the sacred mantras in Sanskrit. Without the holy fire the Hindu marriage is not deemed complete. In Hindu weddings the bride and groom together make seven encirclements around the holy fire, reciting a prayer at each step. It is believed that during the seven encirclements the wows are exchanged and these are believed to worship food, strength, prosperity, wisdom, progency, health and friendship.

A similair canopy is used by Sikhs in Indian wedding, the sacred holy book is sat under a canopy called a mandap, and in sikh weddings the couple walk around this 4 times, each encirclement the priest recites the wedding vows.
