Shadi Rituals : Marriage has its own importance in Hindu religion. This is an event when, along with the union of two hearts, a new relationship is also established between two families. The bride and groom have to follow various customs during this period. With full rituals and ceremonies, a man and a woman hold each other's hands for married life, taking a promise to be each other for 7 births.
Every community has different rituals in marriage. One of these is the ritual of Mati Kodan. This ritual is performed very cleanly in almost every house. Let us know what is its importance…
In Hindu religion, there are 16 rituals in the life of every person, one of which is marriage. During this time all the Gods and Goddesses are worshiped as per the rituals. Which starts with kneading the soil. The marriage begins with the Mati ceremony. During this time all the women dance vigorously on drums and sing folk songs. It is made by the ancestors, which is considered one of the special rituals.
During Mati Kodan, soil is picked up from the place of the deity and it is used in every marriage ritual. It is mentioned in the scriptures that Bhu Devi is the wife of Lord Vishnu, hence first of all Mother Earth is invoked and brought to the family deity of one's house, so that the marriage can be completed peacefully.
It is important to have an alliance in the ritual of soiling. At some places, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law form an alliance, at some places, the Gotanis come out to till the soil in alliance and at some places, the worship is done by Baiga at the place of the deity. Also, that soil is collected and brought home. This soil is kept near the family deity of the house, after which the ritual is completed.
