3. Cultural and Ritual Highlights

The Indian weddings are a part of tradition and occur in different ways to different people:

• Weddings are a huge cultural and economic movement with over 10 million weddings that occur every year and 80 percent of these weddings are Hindu weddings.
• Culturally significant traditions such as henna, kaleerein, and old-age rites have both emotional and symbolic sense cleverly embedded within them. For example the darker the mehndi applied, the greater the presence of the husband. Also, the presence of kaleerein on the bridesmaids indicates the next in line to marry.
