Can Ganga Aarti Be Performed Everywhere in Marriage?
Grasping Through Logic and Scriptures
1. Logical Point of View in Marriage
During a marriage, rituals represent purity, prosperity, and blessings for the couple.
- Just as the sacred fire (Agni) is called forth in a marriage mandap even if it is not situated near a riverbank,
similarly Maa Ganga can be invoked anywhere to bless the couple. - Ganga Aarti in weddings is not just restricted to ghats.
Whether it is a marriage hall, hotel, or home, the ritual can be conducted with equal reverence. - The important factor is the piety of the families and the bhava (devotional intent) behind the ritual —
seeking purity, removal of obstacles, and divine blessings.
❓ Thus, logically, Ganga Aarti turns into a universal wedding ritual,
which can be conducted at any place in India or abroad.
2. Shastric / Vedic View of Marriage
Shastras have termed Ganga not only as water but also as a cosmic deity, present in every realm (Tripathaga).
- In Vedic weddings, calling upon gods is focal: Agni, Vishnu, Lakshmi, and also sacred rivers such as Ganga and Yamuna.
- The Padma Purana and Skanda Purana state that recollection or chanting the name of Ganga
is as meritorious as receiving her direct blessings.
Therefore, when Ganga Aarti is performed during marriage:
- It calls forth her purity into the life of the couple.
- It represents the flow of harmony and prosperity into the new home.
- It keeps the couple spiritually purified and divinely blessed, regardless of the location.
❓ Shastras unequivocally state that Ganga's blessings are not only for the river bank.
Even at a wedding mandap away from the Ganga, invoking her through mantras and Aarti brings her divine grace.
3. Synthesis in Marriage Context
- Logical perspective: Weddings take place at several locations; faith makes it possible to perform Ganga Aarti anywhere.
- Scriptural perspective: Ganga is everywhere; her blessings permeate wherever remembered.
✨ Together, they declare: Conducting Ganga Aarti during marriage, anywhere in India or globally, is equally sacred and blessed as at Ganga ghats.
