Finalized Proposal

 Title:

Indian Wedding, Tamil Matrimony

Background:

Hindu wedding is thought to be the bringing of two people who are said to be compatible. Hindu wedding ceremonies are traditionally conducted at least partially in Sanskrit, the language of most holy Hindu ceremonies. The local language of the people involved is also used since most Hindus do not understand Sanskrit. They have many rituals that have evolved since traditional times and differ in many ways from the modern western wedding ceremony and also among the different regions, families, and castes such as Rajput weddings and Iyer weddings. The Hindus attach a lot of importance to marriages, and the ceremonies are very colorful and extend for several days.

Problem Identification:

As the world evolves, the cultures and rituals are not performed and heritage in proper. Some rituals are being ignored as they don’t see the meaning behind it and the purpose of it.  A proper explanation and meaning behind of every rituals and ceremony are given in order for good cultures, family values, emotions and traditions and cultural ethics to be heritage for future generations. Besides that, a ceremony with proper explanation will be done with good emotions and happiness.

Aim and objectives:

·         To provoke the good elements of an Indian wedding and the way it changes the perceptions of an Indian wedding.

·         To cultivate the cultural essence behind an Indian wedding.

·         To give explanation behind every ceremony and rituals those have been done.

·         To give a better understanding of the Indian matrimony.

Motivation:

I am an Indian and I am sad to say that I myself don’t know about Indian wedding and its rituals in the proper way. Sometimes, we just follow what the elderly says without knowing the purpose and reasons behind. I would give enhance my knowledge in this and also share with the others about our own cultural and rituals.

Ideation and concept:

Create an interactive application of Indian wedding with illustrations and all the information in not so boring or common way. The interaction application will be a video base and has sensory features that will allow users to interact with it while watching the ceremony itself. In the same time, it will allow them to read the information given about each and every rituals happening on the video.
