Seven Steps To Marital Bliss
Even as each ritual bears great significance, the pivot that illustrates the real essence of a Hindu marriage is the saath pheras or saptapadi the seven rounds around agni, promising togetherness of a lifetime. However, the circumference of these seven circles is not confined to just the act but the words chanted as vows during these pheras.
During the saath phere ritual, the bride and groom are tied in a bandhan as they take the pheras around the sacred fire believed to be the destroyer of all sins and the principal witness. The bride leads the first four rounds of the pheras as she is considered the authority to take all matters about the family and the household. The groom brings closure, with the last three rounds being the family's protector and provider.
Each of these pheras has a special significance and acts as a symbol to call out prosperity, fertility, and happiness in the couple's union. These saath pheras change colours and meanings with India's rich regional diversity. Regardless of their interpretation, they are paramount in concluding a wedding into a union throughout India.
The first phera prudently focuses on economic stability in a marriage. To maintain stability in their lives with dignified existence, the bride and groom vow to provide for each other and the family with nourishment, prosperity, and happiness.
The second phera symbolises persistence. The couple asks God to grant them the mental, physical, and emotional strength and endurance essential to have long and fulfilling lives.
