Arya Samaj weddings

Arya Samaj weddings, based on Svāmī Dayānanda Sarasvatī's Saṃskāra Vidhi, focus on the Vedic core: a havan with Vedic mantras, pāṇigrahaṇa, the lājā homa, the pheras and the saptapadī, with the meanings of the mantras often explained in Hindi. There is no image worship.

They are simple, brief and inexpensive, and are open to couples from any background. Such marriages are given legal recognition by the Arya Marriage Validation Act, 1937, and today are commonly registered under the Hindu Marriage Act or other applicable law.
