Only in love are unity and duality not in conflict.

This was taken on the night before my grand parents 80th anniversary wedding @ my native village. This is our house, which is the place of venue for all marriages of the family. The interiors you see are the typical signatures of Chettinad houses.
In almost all of 60th/80th anniversary weddings of South India, some form of Shiva Shakthi will be the centerpiece. They are to Hinduism what Yin Yang is to Taoism. They denote the duality of nature and yet one can't exist without the other. They complete each other. Shiva is thought and Shakthi is action. Shiva is the male force for which Shakthi is the female energy. She's is the morning while He is the night. The list goes on.
The brass pot adorned with garland is called kumbam (கும்பம்); it contains holy water (water with herbs) in front of which sacred hymns are sung in praise of the divine couple. There are 80 of them to denote 80 years. On the day of the wedding, each well wisher will sprinkle this water on the actual couple, after this the wedding happens.
And yes, happy birthday to me :)panasonic water pot
