According to the text of Manusmati, every Hindu life has 16 Sanskars (Sacrament). These sanskars make an individual's life noble and prosperous. The 13th is marriage.

It is a ceremony where two souls are joined spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically, in the sacred bond of matrimony. The bride, bridegroom, their families take part in this ceremony.

Many rituals will take place before the wedding day itself. The majority of the ceremonies take place in the Mandap.
