Saat Phere/Saptapadi-Seven steps/Seven Vows

"Now let us make a vow together. We shall share love, share the same food, share our strengths, share the same tastes. We shall be of one mind, we shall observe the vows together. I shall be the Samaveda, you the Rigveda, I shall be the Upper World, you the Earth; I shall be the Sukhilam, you the Holder - together we shall live and beget children, and other riches; come thou, O sweet-worded girl!"


A Hindu Wedding is solemnized by the Bride and Groom going around the Holy fire seven times.
