Indian Hindu Wedding at Curzon Hall Sydney

Like any NorthIndian Hindu Wedding, this wedding was full of tradition, emotions, fun, food and dancing. The wedding ceremony and reception dinner took place at Curzon Hall, Marsfield which is a gorgeous location by itself. 

GANESH POOJA

Our day started with the 'Gruh Shanti' and Ganesh pooja at the groom's place in Blacktown. We arrived early to take some shots of the groom getting ready and they turned out to be beautiful. The ceremony was conducted by a Hindu poojari (priest) who explained the rituals along the way. The pooja took place in an hour and the guests were offered lunch.








Bridal, Wedding Ceremony and Reception Dinner


We departed for Curzon Hall where the bride was getting ready. By the time we reached, the make-up artist had just completed her magic on the bride (Stuti). This was  perfect timing for bridal shots. 

Stuti looked gorgeous in her blood red outfit and all the Indian accessories that go along with it. Its only a wonder to me how she managed to walk in the 11kg Ghaghra! 






The groom arrived soon after which we absorbed the beauty of Curzon Hall by taking couple shots. We got pretty lucky with the weather as it started to sprinkle a little by the time we finished with the couple shoot. 








It was then time for the traditional Hindu ceremony where they took vows in presence of the Holy Fire. In the meantime, the guests were kept busy with delicious starters and drinks. At the end of the ceremony, it was time for some speeches followed by a fun trivia for the couple. Everyone had a laugh over it. After the dessert, it was time for dancing the night away on popular bollywood numbers which concluded the function.

The event ended in a very emotive fashion with the traditional Bidaai (Vidaai) ceremony.

Traditionally Fuleku ceremony involves the to-be groom rides on the horse-back around the entire village prior to the actual wedding ceremony. This gives everyone a chance to know who is going to be the groom of one of the girls of their village. This ceremony is usually a symbol of pride for the bride's parents who are very proud of the to-be son-in-law and would like to advertise this emotion to the entire village. However, Fuleku (namesake only) tradition for the below blog is where the bride (to-be) is invited for dinner to her sister's (or some other female relative like aunty) place prior to the wedding. This is supposed to be a very casual evening with lots of dances, extensive palette of cuisine and lots of banter between the sisters and their husbands.  Hemangi's wedding was in the town of Jamnagar in the state of Gujarat.
