Our Sacred Union

The next chapter of our love story has finally arrived! This is the day we become one. We invite you to share in our sacred wedding ceremony, followed by a magnificent reception night!

Akṣara & Shoveen’s Royal Vivaah Sanskaar​

We invite you to witness the most sacred moment of our journey, our traditional Vedic Hindu wedding ceremony.

These ancient rites are the sacred foundation upon which we build our future, where we seek your blessings for a lifetime of love and joy.

The ceremony involves several deeply meaningful rituals performed around a holy fire (Agni). The entire ritual is a prayer to the Divine couple, Sri Sri Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa, invoking their blessings for a partnership filled with prosperity, devotion, loyalty, and happiness for our new life together.
