Explanation:
Vivāha (Sanskrit) or Vivaah is marriage as it is practiced in the Indian subcontinent. The word vivāha originated as a sacred union of people as per Vedic traditions, i.e. what many call marriage, but based on cosmic laws and advanced ancient practices.[1] Under Vedic Hindu traditions, marriage is viewed as one of the saṁskāras, which are lifelong commitments of one wife and one husband.[2] In India, marriage has been looked upon as having been designed by the cosmos and considered as a "sacred oneness witnessed by fire itself."[3] Hindu families are patrilocal.
The Hindu wedding ceremony may vary in minor details from region to region, and different priests may adopt some variations.
