Kanyaadaanam ()

Kanyaadaanam is the ceremony in which the girl's family hands over their daughter's responsibility to the groom. Once the family bring her to the Mandapam. Until the completion of the kanyaadaanam, the bride and groom are not allowed to look at each other and therefore, they are separated by a curtain that is place between them, as a partition. Thereafter, the bride's parents wash the groom's feet, as gesture of respect because on the day of wedding the bride groom is considered as "Lord Vishnu Svarupam" or incarnation of lord Vishnu who has come to marry their daughter who is considered as "Devi Lakshmi". The groom is made to chant "Dharmecha Arthecha Kamecha Mokshecha Naati Charami" three times and give Bride's father assurance three times that the bridegroom shall remain for ever her companion in joy and sorrow.
