There are traditional songs and music performed at Hindu weddings.
Instruments
[edit]Nadasvaram
[edit]In South Indian culture, the nadasvaram is considered to be very auspicious, and it is a key musical instrument played in almost all Hindu weddings and temples of the South Indian tradition.[1] It is part of the family of instruments known as mangala vadyam[2] (lit. mangala "auspicious", vadya "instrument").
Shehnai
[edit]Kanyadana songs
[edit]The kanyadana ritual may be accompanied by a variety of kanyadana songs. These songs may include the parents lamenting the loss of their daughter. Other songs focus on the groom, sometimes comparing him to Rama, portrayed in the Ramayana as the "ideal groom".[3]
Pre-wedding songs
[edit]Ovi are wedding songs in Goa, India, sung during the pre-marriage ceremony known as Chuddo (ceremony during which bangles are worn by the bride) and Sado ceremony during which the red dress sado is stitched by a tailor.[4]
