Recently I have visited a remote place near Srikakulam; the place is pretty awesome, serene and green fields all around. The purpose of my visit was my best friend’s wedding. I frankly cannot describe the beauty of the wedding in my words, and I bet nobody can. It was such a beautiful, charismatic, awesome and grand festival more than a marriage. Perhaps that is the reason, elders used to say that Marriage is the festival that comes only once in everybody’s life.
Believe me all, the wedding happened in a typical, tribal, traditional and village style….approximately 5000 people attended the show, a bunch of 20-25 ladies dressed up and decorated the bride, a big tent (not in a function hall) with coconut leaves was arranged in front of the bridegroom’s house and the wedding went for 2-3 hrs, the gorgeous couple surrounded by all the friends, collegues, amazing orchestra troop, and it’s not yet over, it was just the start. After the marriage, the couple was asked to sit in a Palanquin (Telugu lo Pallaki I guess), some of their relatives carried the palanquin and wandered over the whole village. During that short voyage, all the villagers danced for item songs, oriya songs, fired many crackers (just like the one I used to see during oasis inaug), and played so many tribal games like (karra saamu) and it lasted over the wholeeee night. And once it was done, some more mini games like ring game, and some other game (actually I slept by that time, I cannot describe it in detail). They were given 45 mins of time to sleep and in the morning, they went to all the houses, prayed to God and relatives, took blessings aashirvad and gave them clothes. Moreover, I was extremely elated excited and as usual made so much noise, busy in clicking the poses, shooting the video along with the camera man :P
The thing to be noted here is, I have found humanity in their love because not only they have celebrated their love, but also they have extended that love to the whole village (all the villagers who are suffering badly because of the floods occurred recently, have actively participated, danced, and celebrated despite their problems).
Kudos to the couple!! I have seen such things till now only in reel (I mean movies), but I have noted that such love and such elements are still existing in this real polluted world. And I also strongly feel that most of our marriages are not going to be like this. This post is just negligible to mention the worth of the wedding, U guys must watch it.Such was the wedding. I felt it is exactly similar to the marriage shown in an old movie (Roja).
