Wedding rituals in India are as diverse as the country, ranging from poignant to teasing and fun. In this animated video, we explore and demystify some of the wedding customs seen around the country.

The video was originally conceptualised for a venue, but the project was abandoned. However, we enjoyed working on this video a lot so we reworked it and took it to completion!
