“We’ll play pre-recorded wedding mantras, and shlokas and I’ll follow all the instructions accordingly. That provision is there in our religion but not marrying oneself.”Īs a pandit is out of the picture now, she’s exploring the idea of using recorded mantras. “Manglik women who have dosh of Surya devta or Mangal Devta marry peepal trees or matkis. “ Hindu dharam mein iski koi jagah nahi hai (Hinduism has no space for such ceremonies),” he says.ĭevendra was more than happy to sit at the wedding if Bindu was marrying a doll, a tree or a ‘matki’, but the concept of marrying oneself is a line too far.
