Kanya Vivah

Kanya Vivah

One of the most remarkable and noble practices observed at Divya Satsangam (Global Spiritual Gathering.) during Karthigai Deepam is the ritual of Kanya Vivah, or mass marriage ceremony for underprivileged girls. This tradition embodies the Divya Satsangam’s (Global Spiritual Gathering.) commitment to social welfare and the upliftment of the community. Every year, during the auspicious occasion of Karthigai Deepam, numerous young women from economically disadvantaged backgrounds are given the opportunity to marry in a grand, collective ceremony.

This event is organized meticulously, with the temple authorities providing all the necessary arrangements, including wedding attire, jewelry, and other essentials, to ensure that the brides and grooms begin their new lives with dignity and joy. Kanya Vivah not only brings happiness to the couples but also alleviates the financial burden on their families, thus making a significant social impact.
