A Traditional Hindu Wedding

That time you’re sitting in an Agra hotel lobby about 8.30 on a cool Thursday evening, families are quietly milling about.

The beginning of a wedding parades by, the groom in white.

And the band was playing, LOUD!

So people start dancing on the front steps of the hotel entryway.

And a few friendly people grab your hand to dance with them.

New best friends

The groom is now comfortably settled into his brightly lit white carriage. Now the wedding party will parade to the wedding grounds at a nearby Park, and dance to the music for two hours before the bride arrives.

The driver of the white carriage is ready, though he doesn’t really look old enough to drive a car.

As the white carriage departed for the park, it became apparent how the bright lights were powered. The guy is carrying the cables connecting the carriage to a large and loud generator in the truck following close behind.

That was quite an unplanned adventure! Time to go to bed. But wait, my room is on the third floor, and when the elevator opened on the second floor, I looked out and it was the wedding shoot for the bride. Better jump off here and see what it’s all about.
