The Mandap serves as the altar for Indian wedding
ceremonies, specifically for Hindu and Jain
weddings. The Mandap is a covered structure with
four pillars which represent earth, air, water,
and fire, which represent energy and symbolise
spirituality. The Mandap is, if you like, the
stage on which the wedding is set where the
couple are married, and as such is the focal
point of the ceremonies.

Because of its importance, there is usually no
expense spared in the decoration of the Mandap,
and it may have the four posts covered with
massive drapes of expensive materials. In
addition, Mandap decoration will usually include
masses and masses of flowers. In fact, you might
say that decorating a Mandap is a florists dream
because of the huge number of flowers required by
many couples. You have only to go on to Google
and search for Mandap images and you will very
quickly get the idea. Traditionally, the posts
for the Mandap are made of wood, although today
some modern materials are used. It is often
available to be rented as a set which includes
the four pillars and the top frame, with royal
chairs for the bride and groom, a chair for the
pandit, side chairs for the parents, and a
pedestal on which is set the havan kund (fire
box) for the sacred fire. Wrought Iron Pillars

fashioned wrought iron with lighting inside them.
If this is the case, there will be less use of
drapes. The bride is very often escorted to the
Mandap by her maternal uncle. If you need a
Mandap for your own wedding, then at Kenza
Creations we can help you. You can have a Mandap
either indoors or outdoors. In the summer, many a
bride and groom will get married outside in a
beautiful setting such as at a manor house in the
country, with the wedding reception taking place
either indoors or under cover of a marquee. We
can decorate your Mandap with stunning drapes and
many, many flowers, and the colour scheme can be
anything that you wish. Red and gold are always
popular choices for Indian weddings, but there
are no rules, so you can have whatever you
choose. The best way forward is to make an
appointment to come and talk to us, and we can
show you photographs of some of the amazing
mandaps that we have created in the past which
could help to inspire you.
