Lord Ganesh is always the first deity to be propitiated at any significant event. His blessings are invoked before the preparations begin for the wedding so that no obstacles present themselves and all goes well.
Lord Ganesh is worshipped for success of the
ceremony and nine planets for good household life of bride and bridegroom.
This is a
very important religious ceremony. Both sets of parents are the primary figures
in the invocation. On behalf of the parents, the officiating priests ask the
deities to ensure stellar harmony and peace during the period of their son and
daughter's wedding.
The bride takes a coconut to her parents who are seated on 'patlas' (low stools) in front of the sacred fire and seats herself beside them. While the priest is performing the 'puja', which can take up to two hours - she hands this 'shriphal' (coconut) to her parents, who in turn hand it over to the priest for 'ahuti' (sacrifice). The coconut is consigned to flames, thus propagating peace and harmony between all the nine planets.
