A traditional wedding that is filled with joy and laughter


Very few Tamizh weddings celebrate their traditions with honour and sanctity as noteworthy as chettiyar weddings. Nandhini & Narayanan's is one such wedding that happened amidst their friends and family in their ancestral house, which is larger than life itself, seen many generations of weddings in its continuing life. This is one such wedding for us in terms of variety of challenges with respect to - traveling to multiple locations for different rituals, multitude of ceremonies happening simultaneously, and the tying of know inside of room which could barely hold more than ten people in itself.
