Traditional Hindu wedding is full of rituals and custom. On the main day the wedding lasts for hours, there are a number of ceremonies that are usually held on separate days preceding the wedding. Among all the main day wedding rituals Kanyadan is a vital and significant ritual. Kanyadan is a ritual in which the bride's father entrust her daughter to the groom.

Before the wedding is held the bride's parents have to promise to give their daughter away and the groom's parents have to accept the girl as their son's wife. On the main day of the function consent of the parents is obtained for the wedding to proceed. In the ritual of Kanyadaan the bride's parents normally her father and in his absence any elderly relative give their daughter to the groom by putting the bride's right hand into the groom's right hand (Hastamelap, which means joining of hands) while reciting sacred verse.

Kanyadan (‘gift of a maiden’) is the giving away of the bride by her parents, and Panigrahan is the acceptance of her hand by the groom. In the Hindu belief system, the giving of a daughter to the groom’s family is considered to be the greatest possible dana (sacred gift).

Kanyadan is performed by both parents of the bride. They place both hands of their daughter in the hands of the groom. He formally accepts her hands in marriage. Then the bride and groom place a garland around each other’s neck and recite prayers. After this ceremony, responsibility for the bride is transferred from her parents to her husband and his family.

The curtain separating the bride and groom is then removed and then the couple exchange flower garlands. When the father of the bride gives away his daughter to the groom, followed by the offering of gifts and presents. Then the elders of the family place an auspicious white cotton cord around the couple's shoulder's to protect them from ill omen since cotton signifies unity, the bride and the groom shower each other with rice. This ritual is a symbol of couple's bond and love. The groom holds the bride's hand and they both take vows to love, be loyal, committed and protect each other throughout their life. Hindu wedding is all about tradition and rituals. And each of the rituals and customs are followed with utmost dedication and faith.
