Indian wedding

This is a very different way to get married.
As Mauritius has a very large Indian population we are able to offer you this authentic way to get married.

The ceremony includes the legal standard wedding and additionally the fascinating rights of a Tamil wedding.

Cost with taxi fares and all legal fees Euro 1220.
(includes the standard wedding)

In your hotel or holiday house, you will change into your Indian marriage clothes (can be bought for € 150-200) , the bride can have her hands henna painted, will be made up and have her hair done ready for the ceremony on extra costs.

You will then be transferred by car to aTamil temple 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:

    * Ganesh Pooja.
    * Galsa Poojas.
    * Equium.
    * Maha Lutmee Poojas
    * Exchanging Garlands.

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.

The following is included in the price:

    * A photographer who will give 36 photos (10/15) in an album.
    * Assistance with the registration and certification of the marriage. We can also provide a translation into German at an extra price.
    * Arrangement of some Indian sweets and drinks after the ceremony.
