The Kerala Orthodox wedding is a sacred liturgy steeped in centuries of tradition. For our guests unfamiliar with the rite, here is a brief guide to what you will witness:

Blessing of the Crowns

The priest blesses two crowns and places them upon the bride and groom — symbolising the couple as king and queen of a new household, crowned in martyrdom of self for one another.

Tying of the Minnu

The groom ties the Minnu — a small gold pendant on a thread drawn from the Manthrakodi — around the bride's neck. This is the binding moment of the marriage.

Manthrakodi

The groom drapes the Manthrakodi (a sacred sari) over the bride's head, marking the union of their two families.
