Marriage rituals are basically performed in front of holy fire. It emphasizes purity. A holy rope is tied around the bride"s neck. It denotes that she should love her husband with all her heart like the rope is tied to the heart. The rope in called "Mangalsuthra". Since the soul lies in the heart, it denotes that the rope is regarded as a token of the bride's involvement with the groom and his family and to treat them with love and respect in the heart.

The prayers offered to God differs with every family. Every function celebrated has its own history. It basically commemorates the victory of good over the evil. Many festivals like Pongal, Diwali, Dussera and a lot more.
