BENARAS

Manifestation of an ideology rooted deeply in culture and a celebration of indigenous rituals and traditions is the core essence of Benaras. Marriage is one of the three major events of life (birth and death being the other two) and there are guidelines prescribed in different religious scripts on what to do and how to do. This mood is all about the rhythmic chants of priests during the pheras around the holy fire, the “qubool hai” declaration at a nikah or an Anandkaraj ceremony at a gurdwara. It is an ethereal energy that explores the core of our being and is generously peppered with regalia and opulence.
