Swapnil & rucha's story
In Every Lifetime, I Would Find Him Here — Our Buddhist Wedding in Yavatmal
By Rucha
Our love didn’t begin. It remembered. Swapnil and I met in Yavatmal, Maharashtra — not through fate’s drama, but its quiet grace. As I helped organize a Buddhist event, and he documented cultural stories, we kept finding each other — in silence, in shared laughter, in soul-deep conversations.
Ours wasn’t a whirlwind romance, but a gentle unfolding. When he proposed during a peaceful walk to the vihara, I said yes — not to a new life, but to a love that felt timeless.
We married in a traditional Buddhist ceremony in Yavatmal, with monks chanting, lotus offerings, and no pomp — just peace.
Now, we invite you to experience this sacred place — walk the same paths, witness the same simplicity, and feel the stories that still echo in the air.
Because here in Yavatmal, love isn’t just celebrated — it’s remembered.
So, if you believe in soul connections, come sit under the bodhi tree in Yavatmal.

Bangles ceremony
One of the most heartwarming pre-wedding rituals in a Maharashtrian wedding is the Bangles Ceremony, locally known as "Chooda" or "Halad Chadavane." This beautiful tradition celebrates the bride’s journey into married life. The bride is adorned with green glass bangles, symbolizing fertility, prosperity, and new beginnings. Female relatives and friends gather around her, singing folk songs, applying haldi (turmeric), and slipping the bangles onto her wrists with laughter, love, and blessings. The green color represents harmony and happiness, and the clinking sound of the bangles is said to bring good fortune. It’s a moment of sisterhood, emotions, and pure cultural joy — where generations come together to celebrate the bride with tradition, music, and vibrant color.
