Marriage ceremony Of Gujarat

Marriage is a highly auspicious occasion in Indian culture. According to the Vedas, the Hindu scriptures, marriage is a sacred lifelong commitment between a man and a woman. It is considered to be the strongest of all social bonds and is the initiation into a lifetime of togetherness.

The Vedic wedding ceremony consists of prayers, invocations, and vows recited in Sanskrit, the most ancient surviving language. The Vedic wedding ceremony dates back to over five thousand years and is performed under a decorated canopy, the  mandap . The four pillars that surround the  mandap  represent the parents of the bride and groom. This signifies the important part they have played in raising their children to become the responsible adults they are today. The ceremony is performed before a sacred fire, or  agniaa , which is the eternal witness of the marriage, and all vows are taken.

Parts of the ceremony

Every Hindu ceremony begins with the worship of Lord Ganesha, the deity of peace and wisdom. This is done so people can find strength within themselves to remove any obstacles that may arise.

Varghodo  (Wedding Procession)

The groom is then led to the  mandap  where the wedding ceremony will take place.

Ganesh Puja (The worship of Lord Ganesh)

Madhuparka (Welcoming the groom)

While the groom is sitting under the  mandap  the  madhuparka  is performed where his feet are washed by the bride’s parents. He is then offered  panchamrut , a drink composed of milk, yogurt, ghee, honey, and sugar.

Kanyaa Daan (Giving away of the daughter)

The bride accepts her change of status from an unmarried woman to a wife by spreading Turmeric powder on her hands. Kanya Daan is performed by the father (or uncle or guardian) of the bride in presence of a large gathering that is invited to witness the wedding.

Vivah (Wedding)

The bride and the groom face each other, and the priest ties their garments (the bride’s saree to the groom’s shirt) in a knot, symbolizing the sacred union. The bride and the groom garland each other and exchange the rings. Next, the nuptial fire, symbolizing the divine witness, and the sanctifier of the sacrament, is installed and worshipped.

Both the bride and the groom grasp their hands together and pray to God for His blessings. Samagree, consisting of crushed sandalwood, herbs, sugar, rice, ghee (clarified butter), and twigs is offered into the sacred fire to seek God’s blessings for the couple.

Mangal Phera (Circumambulation of the sacred fire)

The groom holds the bride by the hand and both walk four times around the sacred fire. Both offer oblations and recite appropriate Vedic hymns to Gods for prosperity, good fortune, and conjugal fidelity. They touch each other’s heart and pray for union of their hearts and minds.

Saptapadi (Seven sacred steps)

This is the most important rite of the entire ceremony. Here the bride and the groom take seven steps together around the sacred fire (Agni) and make the following seven promises to each other: As per the Vedic rituals, the groom sings “With God as our guide, let us take”:

• The first step to nourish each other
• The second step to grow together in strength
• The third step to preserve our wealth
• The fourth step to share our joys and sorrows
• The fifth step to care for our children
• The sixth step to be together forever
• The seventh step to remain lifelong friends
• The perfect halves to make a perfect whole!

The Satapadi ceremony concludes with a prayer that the union is indissoluble. At the end of this ceremony, the groom and the bride become husband and wife.

Mangal Sutra

The Mangal Sutra Dharana is the tying of the thread containing the marks of the Vishnu or Shiva on the neck of the bride by the groom.

Suhaag or Sindhoordana

The Languages

The Gujarati Language: A Comprehensive Overview of its Linguistic Characteristics, Historical Development, and Cultural Significance

The Gujarati language, known as “ગુજરાતી” (Gujarātī) in its native script, is an Indo-Aryan language primarily spoken in the Indian state of Gujarat. With approximately 56 million speakers, Gujarati holds an important position not only within India but also in global diaspora communities, particularly in regions such as East Africa, the United Kingdom, and North America. This article aims to offer an in-depth examination of the Gujarati language, including its history, unique linguistic features, dialects, and its role in modern culture and business.

Historical Background

The history of Gujarati can be traced back to Old Gujarati, the language from which Modern Gujarati evolved. Old Gujarati itself stems from Middle Indo-Aryan languages, which evolved into Apabhramsha, the direct precursor to Old Gujarati. The language’s literary tradition dates back to the 12th century, with its earliest texts, such as “Bharateshwar Bahubali Raasa,” demonstrating the language’s antiquity.

Gujarati saw significant development during the medieval period, particularly under the influence of Jainism, which contributed to its rich literary tradition. The 16th century saint-poet Narasimha Mehta, known for his devotional songs, is one of the foundational figures of Gujarati literature.

Writing System

Gujarati employs a script derived from Devanagari, known as the “Gujarati script.” It comprises 34 consonants and 12 vowels. Unlike Devanagari, the Gujarati script lacks the horizontal line at the top of the letters, making it visually distinct. The script is phonetic, with the written form corresponding closely to the spoken form.

Phonological Features

Vowels and consonants.

Gujarati has a range of vowels including short vowels like ‘a’ (અ) and long vowels like ‘aa’ (આ). Additionally, it features diphthongs, combinations of two vowel sounds. Consonants in Gujarati include stops, nasals, fricatives, and approximants, and they can be voiced or voiceless.

Stress and Intonation

Stress in Gujarati is generally fixed on the penultimate (second-to-last) syllable of a word, especially if that syllable is long. Stress can play a role in differentiating otherwise similar words.

Grammatical Structure

Nouns and pronouns.

Gujarati nouns are marked for gender (masculine, feminine), number (singular, plural), and case (direct, oblique). Pronouns are similarly inflected.

Verb Conjugation

Gujarati verbs are inflected for tense, mood, and aspect. The language features simple and compound tenses, and verb roots can undergo changes when forming different tenses or moods.

The typical word order in Gujarati is Subject-Object-Verb (SOV), although this can vary for emphasis or style.

Gujarati has a range of dialects, often specific to certain regions or communities. Some of the key dialects include Standard Gujarati, Nagari, Kathiawari, Kharwa, Khakari, and Parsi Gujarati. Each dialect has its own unique vocabulary and may have distinct phonological and grammatical features.

Modern Usage and Cultural Importance

In contemporary times, Gujarati is a vibrant language with significant media production, including newspapers, radio, and television programs. The language is crucial in various cultural practices, including folk music, dance, and traditional storytelling.

Gujarat’s booming business sector has led to Gujarati becoming significant in commerce and trade. Gujaratis are known for their strong business networks and diaspora communities worldwide, which amplifies the language’s global influence.

The Gujarati language is a complex and rich language with deep historical roots and a diverse range of dialects. Its significance goes beyond its native region, extending to global diaspora communities and various sectors, including commerce, religion, and the arts. With its intricate grammatical structure and robust cultural heritage, Gujarati continues to be a language of immense importance in both India and the global community.

Large groups of them settled in Gujarat and any of them are of Indo Aryan origin. 20% of the Gujarati’s are of tribal groups like Naikda, Bhils, Kolis and Macchi-Kharwa who still stay in Gajarat as they weren’t defeated by the Aryan invaders. In fact the Bhil community soon became the rulers of Gujarat while the Kurjars occupied middle level positions. Gujarat has a multi religious culture as a lot of immigration happened in the medieval age which brought in Islam and Zoroastrianism. In 14 th century Saurashtra, the Kathis or the Sun Worshippers held dominance and they were experts in the art of horse breeding. Soon the Rabaris who had a royal lineage dominated Saurashtra and they were mainly cattle breeders.

As of today most of Gujaratis speak the Gujarati language and people of this ethnicity are concentrated in Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Rajasthan. However sizeable numbers also live in far flung areas of the country like Daman and Diu, Dadra and Nagar Haveli etc. incidentally Guajarati communities like Bohra, Memom and Khoja who have settled in Karachi still consider their ethnicity to be Gujarat. Marwari, Hindi, Marathi and Urdu are also spoken in Gujarat and in the Rann of Kutch…Kutchi is the primary language.

Gujarati Homes

Diversity of culture, traditions and religion mark the Gujaratis. The Guajarati culture has elements of Hinduism, Jainism, Islam, Buddhism etc. and is a mirror of many different forms of beliefs, arts, institutions, languages, technology and values. One overriding custom of the Gujaratis is the respect of elders and the tradition of passing on knowledge and values from generation to generation. Culturally the Guajarati’s are friendly and adept at mingling in foreign cultures which is why they have spread to different parts of the world.

Modern homes are now built in Gujarat but there are many who still show fondness for wooden houses and traditional homes. Traditional Gujarati houses have intricate design elements and exquisite interiors and every home has a Chabutra meant for feeding the birds. The kind of furniture used in homes is dependent upon the exact geographical location… Sankheda near Vadodara has lacquered furniture and that’s now a landmark of Southern Gujarat. Rajkot homes have Minakari Furniture while homes in Surat, Saurashtra and Kutch have intricately carved furniture.

Music and Dance

The traditional folk dance forms of Gujarat are Dandiya Raas, Garba, Garbi, Tippani, Padhar and Dangi. While Dandiya Raas is a romantic, playful and vibrant form of dance inspired by Krishna….the Garba is lighter and more graceful dance form performed by females in reverence of Goddess Amba. Garbi is a forceful dance characterised by forceful movements of the limbs and is essentially meant for raising the morale before battle. The Padhar dance was performed by the rural community living around Nal Lake and it’s inspired from the undulations of the sea waves

The history of Gujarat’s literature dates back to 1000 AD and it has now flourished.  Famous poet’s ad novelists are Hemchandracharya, Mirabai, Shamal Bhatt, Premanand Bhatt, Govardhanram Tripathi, Suresh Joshi, Mahatma Gandhi, Pannalal Patel, Akho, Dalpatram, Kavi Kant and Kalapi.

Gujarati theatre is inspired from Bhaval and it’s taken forward to cinematic excellence by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Ketan Mehta.

The different parts of Gujarat have different tastes as the neighbouring state has always played a strong influence. In south Gujarat that shares borders with Maharashtra, Jowar is consumed while in Saurashtra and North Gujarat…Bajra and Maize are consumed. In Baroda…a fusion of all tastes are found.

Most Gujarati are vegetarians and they consume a wide variety of lentils like Urad, Moong, Tuvar, Rajma and mixed Daal. Some famous Daal preparations are Khadi and Dal Dhokli, they eat vegetable dishes like stuffed Karela, Methi mutter, okra, tomato sev, cabbage peas, cauliflower peas, Undhiyu etc. Gujaratis tend to put a hint of sweet flavour in their food. The Gujarati eat a variety of snacks like Chana Dal Vada, Kutchi Dabeli, Dal Vada, Dhokla, Handvo, Kachori, Fafda, Chivda, Bhakarwadi, Jain Chivda, Sev Usal, Chavanu, and Patra.

Famous Gujarati sweets are Ghari, Kaju Katli, Barfi Churmu, Khaja, Rabdi, dudh/moong dal halwa, badam/ pista chakki, wheat halwa, mysore pak. Puran puri, shrikhand. Mohanthal, ladoo, magasand chikki are also quite famous in Gujarat
