Talk:Hindu wedding


Please dont merge. If the new sections require this context, they can always link back here, cant they? My argument against merging this wedding section with the religion project is that the hindu weddings are very little in religious context. They are more cultural than religious. Hence it is unfair to categorize this under Religion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.112.26.208 (talk) 01:13, 24 January 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I don't get it, why remove the Hindi names? As long as we have the english explanation/translation, the Hindi names add authenticity. Did you remove them because we shouldn't favor Hindi over other languages that practice Hinduism? I don't know what to do about that since we can't add every languages word for each item, but since Hindi is the most common language spoken by Hindus, I think we should include them - Taxman Talk 12:36, July 15, 2005 (UTC)

There's currently a fork of this at Indian wedding. That article should be changed to a list of pointers to Hindu wedding, Muslim wedding, Jain wedding etc, and anything in there that's relevant brought into here. Jpatokal (talk) 04:23, 21 November 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

This is another of the confusing articles in the wedding series, eg. Indian Wedding. I'd like to help edit this article but I'm not sure what's the best way to divide traditions between North/South, brahim/non brahim, Gujarati/Tamil/Punjabi, etc. This is essential a Pandora's box for Hindu weddings and like what other commenters said, several traditions don't overlap (even ones currently mentioned in the article). Should this article be a general introduction to Hindu weddings and then we branch off with articles to specific regions (e.g. Tamil Hindu Wedding)? Or something else? -- Sapphirecut 23:32, 07 November 2013 (UTC).Reply[reply]

I just wanted to point this out: "Modern Hindu weddings are often gassy, much shorter, and do not involve all of the rituals of the traditional ceremony, which sometimes go on for five days." Gassy? I'm not sure what that word was meant to mean but it could use clarification. 65.188.250.30 (talk) 03:35, 11 May 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

This article clearly describes a north indian wedding. Please dont call it a hindu wedding. It doesnt have any information related to south indian weddings or manipuri weddings. So I urge admins to rename this article. Or else hire people to change its content. Also please dont use hindi names. If possible use sanskrit names. coz this is not abt a north indian wedding. 71.90.100.176 (talk) 16:14, 7 April 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]
