Arya Samaj Vivah

Marriage is a wonderful union of two people who choose to spend their lives together. It is supposed to bring harmony, stability and happiness in otherwise chaotic lives. What is beautiful about this union is to witness the selfless love and loyalty that both man and woman promise each other. This sacred process of bringing two souls together need not be a display of pomp and wealth.
The desire to celebrate this beautiful coming together, without any vulgar exhibition of money, power and influence, is fulfilled and supported by Arya Samaj mandirs. Arya samaj mandir strives to solemnize marriages, with minimum expenditure and no dowry. Arya Samaj mandir in Nagaur is the perfect example and here weddings are simple but rich in significance and are performed according to Vedic rites. Marriages conducted here do not involve lavish decor and are known for their simplicity and are usually inexpensive.


 These marriages are a boon for those who intend to break shackles of social taboos and denounce casteism, fanaticism and regionalism. These can be registered either under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, in case both couple are of the same faith, or under the Special Marriage Act, 1954, where it is inter-faith marriage. The ceremony is performed adhering to the Vedic rituals in an Arya Samaj temple and it is legally recognized. Arya samaj mandir in Jalor is another prominent and famous place for solemnizing wedding vows.  
Arya Samaj schools and temples are found in almost all major cities as well as in rural areas, especially in the Northern part, of India. Some are authorized to conduct weddings. Arya Samaj society is active in various other countries including Guyana, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, Fiji, Australia, South Africa, Kenya, Mauritius, and other countries where a sizeable Hindu Diaspora is present. Most prominent cities of Canada and the United States boast of chapters of Arya Samaj.
