A Compact Wedding Album
About Me
- SriRamaJayam
- This blog covers the Shyamal-Nandini Wedding held in Chennai on 22nd-23rd Nov 2006. The blog tries to list the various stages of a Tamil Iyer Wedding with photographs from our family function. Quite a few stages of the traditional wedding rituals are no longer being held; so, we have only the ones which are quite prevalent nowadays. The description of rituals is based on "Iyer Marriages - Rites & Rituals" by Sri P R Ramachander (www.keralaiyers.com)
