Buddhist Weddings
Marathi Buddhists are mostly converted people from Hinduism. They usually call themselves Boudha which means Buddhist. Marathi Buddhists account for 77.36% of all the Buddhists in India and most of them belong to the former community named Mahar which has adopted Buddhism along with Ambedkar in the year 1956.
Buddhist matrimony is not as vast and elaborate as that of any Hindu marriage. They keep it simple and their rituals and traditions are unique in themselves. Instead of “Om” or “Jai Mata Di”, Marathi Buddhists use the term “Jai Bhim”, to show their devotion towards B.R. Ambedkar. A Boudha matrimony is performed in front of the statues or photos of Buddha and B.R. Ambedkar.
The Buddhist wedding starts with the groom and his side of the party, coming over to the bride’s house for a formal engagement known as Chessian. They have Buddhist monks reciting and chanting prayers throughout the ceremony. The families of both sides exchange coconuts, betel leaves, flowers, gifts, nuts, and traditional Marathi sweets.
The wedding ceremony of a Marathi Buddhist can vary from region to region as they are mostly influenced by the Hindus living in the area. The ceremony might be performed with Mangala Sutta and jay Mangala Gatha which are the verses taken from the teachings of Buddha. However, their marriages are quite simple and instead of pheras and garland exchange, a Buddhist couple takes vows towards each other to mark their marriage.
