Being a guy belonging to maratha community. I know marriages are like great celebrations or festivals in our community.
We will white wash or paint our home. Perform Satyanarayan swami puja. It is a sacred puja where all the members of the home will perform puja. A pandit will perform the puja and tell the story of Satyanarayana swami. After puja prasad followed by lunch session will be there.
The next day we will do "Gondal". A puja of durga maa. The puja will be performed during night and a story of durga mata will be chanted by the "Gondhali". The puja will be performed whole night and diva will be lighted for whole night. In the morning arthi will be given. A dinner session will also be conducted during night.
Haldi function will be conducted where the people from bride's home will go to the bridegroom's home and play haldi. Similarly bridegroom's relatives will go to the bride's home. Haldi means turmeric powder.
The same things will be performed in bride's home. On the day of marriage a barat procession will take place. The bridegroom will sit on the horse and will go to the marriage function hall where marriage is conducted. In barat we dance and enjoy. In marriage the pandit will chant all the mantra's of marriage and atlast the bridegroom will tie the mangal sutra to the bride.
On the next day there will be a reception arranged by bridegroom's father. In that there will be music and dinner session will be there.
Like this we will perform marriage.
If am wrong please correct me and give me more suggestions.
