A condensed schedule for an Indian wedding, typically spanning two days instead of the more common three- or four-day format, focuses on core ceremonies and celebrations. For example, a schedule might include a Ganesh Puja and Mehndi ceremony on the first day, followed by the Haldi ceremony and the wedding ceremony itself on the second day. This shortened timeframe requires careful planning and prioritization of events.
The importance of such compressed planning lies in its practicality, catering to couples and families seeking to balance tradition with time and budget constraints. Historically, multi-day weddings were displays of wealth and community involvement. However, evolving lifestyles and the increasing geographical dispersion of families have made shorter formats more appealing. Benefits include reduced costs, easier logistical management, and potentially increased guest attendance due to shorter travel commitments.
