A few years back I went to a TB wedding in Chennai.
They invited us for Mendi and Sangeet, I should have known. They had prerecorded Bollywood songs and all the guests were sitting in chairs. Where was the festivity of Punjabi Sangeet? Where were the dancing and music?

Tamil Brahmin weddings, like many other traditional South Indian weddings, have their own unique customs and traditions that differ from those in North Indian weddings. While the core rituals remain consistent, the cultural and regional variations can be quite distinct. Here are a few points to consider:

Cultural Differences: Tamil Brahmin weddings are deeply rooted in Dravidian culture and traditions. They prioritize religious rituals and ceremonies over elements like dancing and drinking, which are more prevalent in North Indian weddings.

Religious Significance: South Indian weddings, including Tamil Brahmin weddings, often place a strong emphasis on religious ceremonies and traditions, which are integral to the marriage. Rituals may involve prayers, blessings, and homams (fire rituals).

Music and Dance: In Tamil Brahmin weddings, you are more likely to find classical music and dance performances, such as Bharatanatyam, rather than the energetic and lively dance performances commonly seen in North Indian baraat processions. Sangeet ceremonies may feature classical music performances and devotional songs.

Simplicity: Tamil Brahmin weddings typically follow a more minimalist and subdued approach when it comes to decorations and overall pomp. The focus is on the sanctity of the marriage ceremony.

Cuisine: The food served at Tamil Brahmin weddings is typically vegetarian and reflects the regional cuisine. Traditional dishes like sambar, rasam, and various rice preparations are commonly served.

It's important to remember that cultural and regional differences are what make Indian weddings so diverse and fascinating. While North Indian weddings may be known for their grandeur and exuberance, South Indian weddings, including Tamil Brahmin weddings, have their own charm and significance. What might seem hilarious or contrasting to one group of people could be deeply meaningful and beautiful to another. It's a celebration of the rich cultural diversity within India.
