Step 6: Pâṇi Grahaṇam
After Mângalya Dhâranam, the groom lowers his right palm and encloses it over the right hand of the bride. He covers all the five fingers of the right hand of the bride with his right palm through this process of Paani Grahanam. He recites mantras in praising deities of Bhaga, Aryama, Savita, Indra, Agni, Suryan, Vayu and Saraswati, while holding bride’s hand. He prays for long life, progeny, prosperity and harmony with the bride throughout their married life. The closed fingers of the right hand of the bride is said to represent her heart. The Pâṇi Grahaṇam ritual symbolizes the bride surrendering her heart once for all in the hands of the groom during the process of marriage.
Jai Sriman Narayana !!
