- Find the days suitable in a month. Select the

Vivaha. This
sanskar is entry into the second Ashram. The life as individual family begins.
Entering this stage of life, man has to take on his duties and has to pay
spiritual debts by sacrifice , by procreating children and study. The bride
and groom walk around Agni hand in hand 7 rounds. The bride sacrifices grains
in the fire and the bridegroom chants mantras. The bridegroom marries the
bride, not vice versa. After marriage,
doing AGNIHOTRA ANUSTHANA with, he gains access to the heaven. A good
son is also a result of an excellent marriage. Such a son serves his living
parents which paves the way to salvation for his dead ancestors through SHRADDHA, TARPANA
etc. All these are the results of marriage.
