Ever wonder why arranged marriage is prevalent even in contemporary India? What are some of its myths and parallels with love marriage? We will hold a dialogue where we discuss the varied marriage traditions across India's diverse cultural and religious groups, with a presentation by Meysiva, a graduate student from South India, who shares his personal experience of a traditional Hindu wedding and explores how in this particular culture marriage and the associated norms in India are influenced by the principles of Hinduism.
