Saptapadi is the heart and legal essence of a Hindu marriage — the seven steps taken together by the bride and groom around the sacred fire, each step representing a vow, a promise, and a shared intention for their life together. The first step is for nourishment, the second for strength, the third for prosperity, the fourth for happiness, the fifth for progeny, the sixth for health, and the seventh — the most sacred — for lifelong friendship, love, and companionship. With each step, the Pandit chants the corresponding Vedic vow, and the couple affirms their commitment to each other before the divine witness of Agni, the fire god. A marriage is truly sealed when these seven steps are taken together.
