Fiji Indian Wedding

During a Mehendi Night, the hands and feet of the bride are adorned using Mehendi or henna paste. Intricate designs are normally applied to beautify the bride. The ceremony normally takes place one day before the wedding.

During the Telwan ceremony, coconut oil is rubbed over the bride’s body by her family members. Following the Telwan ceremony, the groom’s family hosts the Bhatwaan ceremony, where the groom and his family will have a great time. It’s the final day of celebration at the groom’s home. During the Bhatwaan ceremony, turmeric paste is smeared all over the groom, by his relatives, which is indeed a fun part of the entire Fiji Indian wedding rituals.

Tilak ceremony marks the end of the bhatwaan ceremony. This ceremony is reckoned as the first step to sanctify the bond between both families. The event takes place in the groom’s residence, where a male member applies vermilion on the groom’s forehead. The rite is followed by dance and music.

Fiji Indian Wedding

The arrival of the groom to the venue is a celebration in itself. The bride’s guests can directly proceed to the hall whereas the groom’s guests should join the baraat procession along with the groom. The procession is politely welcomed by the bride’s parents, family members amidst music and dance. 

Finally, when the groom and his family arrive, they are solicitously welcomed by the bride’s family. The parchan ceremony is performed at the entrance. Tilak is applied on the groom’s forehead by the bride’s mother and a lit lamp is presented 3 times around the groom. Rice is sprinkled over the groom as well as betel leaf and nut is also offered. She also circles water around the groom 3 times and some water is poured on the ground. Once the mother completes the ritual, other women will also do likewise. Upon completion, the groom and other family members are escorted to the mandap.

The bride will be led to the mandap by her father and uncles. A banana plant is placed in the centre of the mandap. The plant is placed so as to remind the couples and their respective families of the happiness in nature’s bounty. The mandap has a touch of green in the forms of leaves being used for decking the mandap.The plantain leaf holds Kalash or a metal pot, and the leaf is covered with raw rice or paddy which symbolises fertility, wealth and prosperity.

The officiant and both the bride and groom will be seated before the sacred fire, performing the ceremonies. The groom ties the mangalsutra, made of gold and black beads around the bride’s neck. Thereafter, both of them exchange flower garlands. Sindoor is applied on the bride’s forehead symbolising her new status as a wife.

The ritual where the father gives away the bride to the groom is called Kanyadaan. During the ceremony, the father places his daughter’s right hand above the groom’s right hand, that marks giving her away to the groom.

Subsequently, the bride’s veil and the groom’s sash will be tied together and they encircle around the ceremonial fire 7 times. Owing to that the ritual gained its name Saptapadi.

Post-wedding Ceremonies 

Vidaai is the symbolic end of all wedding ceremonies where the bride bids goodbye to her family and departs to the groom’s house. The final goodbye is tearful and heart-rending during this ceremony. Vidaai is followed by the reception, which basically involves the introduction of the bride to the groom’s family members. The reception comes packed with music, dance and a feast. It marks the end of Fiji Indian Hindu weddings.
