(fair * ahs)

The word “Pheras” in Hindi means “Rounds.” Aaren and Sreemoyee will be married in a western-influenced Vedic ceremony which culminates with the couple walking together seven rounds of the ceremonial wedding pyre. Each round, or Phera, represents one vow the couple makes to each other including nourishment, strength, loyalty, love, health, and wisdom.

To mark their marriage, the groom places red “Shidoor” powder on his bride, and the couple exchanges flower garlands and their wedding bands.
