(includes the standard wedding)
In your hotel or holiday house, you will
change into your Indian marriage clothes, the bride will have her hands
henna painted, will be made up and have her hair done ready for the
ceremony.
You will then be transferred by car to the Maha -Kalee Tamil temple in
Port Louis where a welcome prayer (Aartee) will be performed and camphor
is burned on a tray to chase away evil eyes. The civil status officer will
then hold the civil wedding ceremony (see standard wedding above).
You will then mount on the podium for the
Tamil wedding ceremony Kalianam and the official priest Aya Baba will
perform the following prayers or Poojas:
Exchanging the Varmala (Garland) is the sign
that marks the start of the marriage. Wedding Garlands are exchanged and
represent the bride and the groom. By exchanging the garlands, you share
your love with one another. Today the flowers are as fresh as your
feelings, however as time goes by, the flowers will wither and dry up.
Your mutual feelings will however remain fresh in your hearts forever.
A typical Mauritian
party will then be held, where nice Mauritian cakes are served along with
sparkling grape juice.
