Vivaha (marriage) is considered the most sacred of all Samskaras. It is not merely a social contract but a spiritual covenant between two souls, witnessed by the sacred fire (Agni), the stars, and the divine. The seven steps (Saptapadi) taken together symbolise the seven vows — a bond that spans multiple lifetimes in Hindu philosophy.
