As the years pass, they can enter the family moments in both books as a testimony of their multicultural lives. - Vedic astrology offers a unique view of a wedding day.Astrological clock in Prague image by Bambuh from Fotolia.com
A wedding is an auspicious day, unique to the bride's and the groom's shared experience. Commission a Vedic astrological chart of the couple's wedding day. Frame the resulting chart. Bind the Vedic interpretation in a leather cover. - Indian art radiates creativity, color and ancient ideas. Give the bride and groom a Hindu wall hanging or statue. Ask a family member which god or goddess the bride or groom reveres. If, for example, the person is devoted to the Hindu god Ganesha, give them a Ganesha wall hanging for their home. If they are devoted to the goddess Shakti, give a Shakti figurine.
