during the marriage


The fire that you can see in the picture needs to be walked around several times before they are officially married. During this time flowers are thrown at the two of them and everyone teases them.

Thanks for posting all of these fun and interesting pictures with commentary! It's very educational for those of us that have never been to India.
It's really exciting for us that you're going to be home THIS month...your Mom is counting the days!
Until then...have a great time :)

I loved all the pictures. You aren experiencing things that we only see in movies. Have fun, the time is ticking away on your exchange.
