Unique Kodava Marriage Ceremonies: Rituals That Bind the Soul
Unique Kodava marriage ceremonies are different from those of other communities, with rituals that are unique to the Kodava culture. One such ceremony is the Kashi Yatra, where the groom pretends to leave for Kashi (a holy city), symbolizing his commitment to spiritual growth, only to be invited back by the bride’s family. At The River Homestay, you can witness these unique Kodava marriage ceremonies during your stay. The hosts might even explain the meanings behind each ritual, allowing you to better appreciate the symbolism and spiritual significance of these traditions.
