The wedding ceremony involves a series of rituals and traditions, each with their own significance and meaning.

The couple then takes seven vows, or pheras, around a sacred fire, each vow representing a different aspect of married life. The groom also presents the bride with a mangalsutra, a sacred necklace that symbolizes their union. The ceremony concludes with the groom placing sindoor, a red powder, on the bride's forehead, symbolizing their union and the bride becoming a married woman.
