Indian Marriage Complexities and right solutions from online services



One has to accept the fact that Indian Telugu matrimony society is a colorful fabric of complex caste, language, cultural and ethnic divisions. If somebody starts traveling from the southernmost tip of Kanya Kumari to Northern most tip of Kashmir one can really see the change of cultures, languages, food varieties and ritual differences. The reason being India is subjected to invasions from foreign soils by various other religious groups since ages. Some of them stayed and ruled this land for longer periods. Centuries of these invasions and subjugation became a kind of pot boil and the great Indian Civilization absorbed and accommodated all these cultures. But the fundamental rituals and Vedic culture still remained deep rooted in the Indian culture and each State and region have sometimes subtle and most of the times vast variations in the ritual aspects from birth to death. Even today most of the marriages happen within the caste and community structure and most of the Indian Telugu matrimonial marriages are arranged by the elders in nature.
