The engagement ceremony — blessing the couple-to-be, exchanging rings, and fixing the auspicious wedding date.
Performed by Certified Gurukul Scholars
Lagan is the engagement rite that formally precedes a Hindu wedding. The two families come together to bless the couple, exchange rings, and — importantly — fix the wedding date (the marriage Muhurta). It establishes the sacred bond of commitment between the partners and sets the tone for the celebrations ahead.
Families perform it to formally bless and announce the couple's commitment; exchange rings and mark the engagement auspiciously; fix the wedding date with the proper rites.
The engagement itself is held on an auspicious day, and a key purpose is to fix the wedding Muhurta — the scholar helps determine the right wedding date during the ceremony/consultation. A few days' lead time helps with Samagri sourcing.
Our scholar arrives with all the puja Samagri. You only arrange a few household items and a clean space — nothing to source or worry about.
Samagri may vary slightly with the scale of your Sankalpa and seasonal availability. Anything specific is always confirmed during your free consultation.
The intention is set and Ganesha is honoured first.
The sacred pot and nine planets are invoked.
