सगाई
The rite
Sagai is the engagement with ring exchange, tikka, and Ganesh for both families before wedding planning deepens. Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma leads North Indian sagai at Bengaluru homes with clear order for ring, coconut, and chadar so photographers know when to step in.
Before the visit, clear a clean floor or table space, stack samagri from the WhatsApp list in one place, and keep drinking water ready for elders. Share gate code, parking notes, and society rules when you message so setup is calm across Bengaluru traffic.
Time at the house: 1–2 hours
Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma does this at the house in Bengaluru. The fee is not printed on this page. It is sent on WhatsApp with the material list.
Why families book it
Ring ceremonies in hotels need early hall access; pandit coordinates with planner.
Blesses the match; does not guarantee compatibility or zero divorce risk.
Elders and children may sit nearby; the pandit pauses for brief Hindi notes so guests know when to offer flowers, ghee, or responses during mantras.
Share gotra, names, and your Bengaluru locality on WhatsApp so travel and samagri are confirmed before the day. The appointment form opens WhatsApp only; this page does not store your message.
When families ask
