A Symphony of Traditions and Rituals

Tamil Hindu weddings, or Kalyanam, are a breathtaking spectacle of colors, sounds, and emotions. Steeped in centuries-old traditions and rituals, these ceremonies are a celebration of love, family, and spirituality. From the vibrant pre-wedding festivities to the sacred nuptial rites, every moment is imbued with significance and beauty.
