The ceremony was very elaborate. Here is an offering that was made for the ancestors so that they would come down and bless the married couple:
In the evening there was a reception, which is literally that, a reception (not a party like we have here in the States).
All in all I had a great time, although I was only in India for four short days. After the wedding I visited some landmarks around the city, mostly some pretty amazing temples. It was very interesting and my friend's sister explained to me about all the different gods and stories behind them. Although I must admit I had a hard time wrapping my mind around the concept of polytheism, coming from where I come from.
Wow! This is interesting! I hope you're having fun.
