| A traditional Indian marriage is a feast for the eyes. All guests and especially
the bride are festive and colourful dressed with clothes from finest silk.
The hands and feet of the bride by tradition are decorated with precious
stones or elaborate paintings.
The marriage ceremony lasts for about one and half day. It is mainly
a religious ceremony performed in the presence of many relatives and friends
from both sides. Generally all expenses of wedding are to be borne by the
girl's side. The pictures were taken in a so-called wedding hall. We thank
our Indian friends and the young couple who let us have them. May God bless
them. more about an Indian
