SiRa .. Do Shareer Ek Praan ~ Happy Anniversary ~

Kundali Milaan

It was written by 'Vidhata' himself...Ram's name in Siya's kundali and Siya's in Ram's...Could it be flawed...never...their kundalis matched to perfection...they were made for each other...Thus began the eternal love story of SiyaRam

Haldi

For such divine couple's haldi Shivaji n Parvatiji made their presence on the earth..in human form...The moments most overwhelming for them...Ram looked in wonder at the dove...absorbing the blessings of his araadhya with utmost respect...Siya felt the touch of Gauri...her eyes spoke of pure devotion..

Narad Narayan Milan

Naradji couldn't stop himself from attending his Prabhu's wedding rituals...he came in the guise of a washerman...his fingers eager for the touch of those divine feet...His 'Prabhu' , touched by the pure joy written on his sevak's face teased him, by asking for his blessing...

Diya Milan

A beautiful ritual was carried out on the river banks by Ram n Siya...the bride n the groom...They lit diyas and floated them in the holy water...seeking blessings of their ancestors...

Tilak Sangeet Ceremony

Another auspicious ritual was followed..The women sang melodious songs and danced to add to the joyous occasion..King Janak put tilak on DashrathNandan Ram's forehead...accepting him whole heartedly as his son-in-law...and blessed him all the happiness...The groom's family sent 'sindoor' to the bride's family...a symbol of saubhagya...

Preparing the Bride n Groom

Shivaji in the guise of a brahman tied the sacred kankan on Ram's wrist ...to ward off any evil eye..he adorned Ram...Narayan himself...with his own hands..Ma Parvati and Saraswati took immense pleasure in getting the bride ready...their happiness overflowing..

Ram's Baraat

The baraat with all the family members arrives...there is gaiety all around...the ambience is festive..the groom looks majestic...the bride exquisite..glowing with happiness...there is excitement in the air...

Jaymala

Ram & Siya stand facing each other...their eyes express abundant love for each other..beautiful delicate scented jaimalas in hands...their faces radiant...they exchange the garlands..and accept each other forever...

Var Puja

Paying respect to Groom

Kanyadaan

Another beautiful ritual is followed...With teary eyes Janak performs 'kanyadaan'...he puts his most loved Janki's hand in Ram's...his eyes urging him to accept her as his equal...His heart is heavy...she would now belong to Ram and leave him heartbroken..

Gathbandhan

Shatanand steps forward for the gathbandhan...he ties the edges of their stoles together...now they are tied for eternity to each other..

Mangal Phere

Ram n Siya take pheras around the havan kund..their expressions serene...every word uttered sincere and pious..their vows echoing ...promises to be with each other for a lifetime of togetherness.

Sindoor

Then arrives the moment for the bright red sindoor to be filled in Siya's hair parting..Ram applies it with great regard for his Siya..her eyes closed in reverence ...

Bhojan

As per Mithias tradition Ram Siya breaks the fast by each other hands

Bidaai

The moment most emotional...heart melting...King Janak and Sulochana bid farewell to their Siya with tear filled eyes...wishing her happiness forever...Siya hugs them tightly in her arms..unable to part away from them...she looks back...fond memories of her childhood in her eyes...

Grihpravesh

At Ayodhya the newly weds were welcomed warmly...Every face was a glow with happiness..Flower petals were showered upon Ram n Siya...The mothers were eager to bless them... Siya steps in with Ram...she pushes a pot filled with rice with her feet...her feet, dipped in red alta ,leave tiny footprints behind..she is a member of the house now...
