Ask Alok da

What is the symbolism of Indian marriage?

The seven rounds together around the central fire represents the joining together on the seven planes of existence, that is to say, physical, sensuous, emotional, intellectual, psychic, spiritual and the Eternal.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

It is certainly a positive…
