It puts emphasis on the values of happiness, harmony and growth and could be traced<br /> back from the Vedic times.<br /> Months before the wedding ceremony, an engagement is held which is called "mangni". The couple is<br /> blessed here with gifts, jewelry and clothes. Another important ritual is the "mehendi" which is a paste made from<br /> the leaves of henna plant. It is the traditional art of adorning the hands and the feet of the bride with mehendi and<br /> the name of the groom is also hidden in the design.<br /> On the day of marriage, the couple exchanges garlands as a gesture of acceptance of one another and a<br /> pledge to respect one another as partners which is known as "jaimala". This is followed by "kanyadaan", where<br /> the father of the bride places her hand in the groom's hand requesting him to accept her as an equal partner.<br /> Another ritual is the "havan" in which the couple invokes Agni, the god of Fire, to witness their<br /> commitment to each other. Crushed sandalwood, herbs, sugar rice and oil are offered to the ceremonial fire. The<br /> "gath bandhan" takes place where scarves of the bride and groom are tied together symbolizing their eternal bond.<br /> This signifies their pledge before God to love each other and remain loyal. The couple then takes four "mangal<br /> pheras" or walk around the ceremonial fire, representing four goals in life: "Dharma", religious and moral duties;<br /> "Artha", prosperity; "Kama" earthly pleasures; "Moksha", spiritual salvation.<br /> The couple also takes seven steps together to begin their journey, called the "saptapardi". Then the ritual<br /> of "sindoor" takes place where the groom applies a small dot of vermilion, a red powder to the bride's forehead<br /> and welcomes her as his partner for life. This signifies the completion of the marriage. The parents of the bride<br /> and the groom then give their blessings, "ashirwad" to the newlywed couple as they touch the feet of their parents.<br /> Câu 4: What might be the most suitable title for this reading passage?<br /> A.
