Stunning Bihari Wedding Venue in Melbourne: Seasons5
Bihari weddings are known for their rich cultural heritage and unique rituals that make them exceptionally beautiful. Planning such a vibrant and elaborate celebration requires a venue that can accommodate intricate traditions with grace and style. Hence, when it comes to hosting a Mauri wedding in Melbourne, Seasons5 stands out as a premier venue. We offer couples a blend of elegance, luxury, and personalised service.
Bihari Wedding Traditions and Rituals
Being away from your ancestral place doesn’t mean you need to compromise on your traditions. Melbourne is a diverse city where every culture is embraced. You can perform all your rituals in one place, provided the venue can accommodate them. Our resort offers the perfect opportunity to honour all your traditions.
Bihari marriages involve vibrant traditions and rituals spanning several days. Each of them has their own significance and charm. At Seasons5, we ensure that every ritual is given the attention and respect it deserves. Therefore we plan all celebrations set against a backdrop that enhances its beauty.
Pre-wedding Rituals of Bihari Wedding
Mauri weddings involve several pre-wedding rituals that are steeped in tradition and cultural significance. Here are the pre-wedding rituals celebrated –
- Satya Narayan Katha: This auspicious ritual sets the tone for wedding celebrations. The best part is our versatile indoor and outdoor spaces provide a serene environment for such spiritual gatherings.
- Sangeet and Mehendi: The Sangeet is a lively celebration filled with music, dance, and merriment. In the Mehendi ceremony, intricate henna designs are applied to the bride’s hands and feet. This ceremony is often held alongside the Sangeet. With dedicated spaces, we ensure you can enjoy this engagement ceremony to the fullest. We will make all the arrangements while keeping the traditional essence.
Haldi Kutai: In this ritual, women from the groom’s side make a paste of turmeric for the bride’s haldi ceremony. Our expansive gardens and well-equipped indoor areas are perfect for this joyous and colourful ritual.
Tilak: During this ceremony, the groom’s family visits the bride’s home, and the bride’s mother applies a tilak (a vermilion mark) on the groom’s forehead. The Grand Ballroom at our retreat is ideal for hosting the Tilak ceremony. This space can accommodate a large number of guests with ease.
Mandappachadan: The setup of the mandap is crucial, and our team ensures it is done with meticulous attention to detail. In our beautifully decorated spaces, you can celebrate your union beautifully.
Haldi Ritual: In this ceremony, the respective family members and close relatives apply a turmeric paste (haldi) to the bride and groom’s bodies. The spacious outdoor areas and the gazebo provide a picturesque setting for this lively ceremony.
Wedding Day Rituals and Ceremonies of Bihari Wedding
The ‘mauri for marriage’ ritual holds profound cultural and symbolic significance in Bihari weddings. On the wedding day, the couple gets ready in their traditional attire where the groom wears maur mukut on his head and the bride wears a beautiful saree and gold jewellery. Here are the rituals performed on this big day:
- Paricchavan: Paricchavan is a ritual performed on the morning of the wedding day. It involves the bride and groom taking a ceremonial bath, prepared with holy water, milk, and other auspicious ingredients. Seasons5 can allocate separate, private spaces for the bride and groom to perform the Paricchavan ritual comfortably.
- Baraat Prasthaan: This is the groom’s grand procession towards the wedding venue. The expansive grounds of Seasons5 provide ample space for a grand baraat procession. We will take care of arrangements to complete this function with music and dance.
Jaimala and Galsedi: In the Jaimala ritual, the bride and groom exchange flower garlands, symbolising their acceptance of each other. In the Galsedi ritual, the bride’s family welcomes the groom with a tilak on his forehead and showers him with flower petals and rice grains. Our stunning Grand Ballroom or picturesque gardens offer a perfect backdrop for Jaymala. In the presence of your friends and family, you can exchange garlands and perform other ceremonies.
- Kanganabandhan and Kanyadaan: Kanganabandhan is a ritual where the groom ties a sacred thread or a bangle on the bride’s wrist, signifying his promise to protect her. Kanyadaan is the ceremonial giving away of the bride by her parents to the groom. The main ceremony areas are designed to create a sacred and intimate ambience for these significant rituals.
Bhaisur Nirakshan, Kuldevtaki Puja, and Pheras: Bhaisur Nirakshan is when the bride and groom first see each other through a sacred mirror after their marriage. Kuldevtaki Puja is a prayer to the family deities for blessings on the couple. The Saat Phere involves the couple taking seven rounds around a sacred fire, making vows to symbolise their lifelong commitment to each other. Our team ensures that these spiritual ceremonies are conducted smoothly. They will make sure all necessary arrangements are taken care of.
