I met Divya, the bride and Vasu, the groom through friends referral (thanks to Sajani and Adri) and I was very happy to go back to Bangalore in Karnataka for their union. While Divya lives in Switzerland and Vasu in the US, they have decided to celebrate their wedding with relatives in India. They both belong to the Brahmin caste, which is considered the upper caste society in India (teachers, scholars, priests…). They were engaged in attaining the highest spiritual knowledge. The wedding ceremony was very interesting to look at and quite a few rituals were new to me such as the ‘Kanya Danam’ (= the giving away the bride), where the bride sits on her father’s laps and is given away as a gift to the groom. Thank you Divya and Vasu for choosing us as your personal wedding photographer.
