An engagement is a promise to marry. It is also known as a betrothal. The occasion for formalizing an engagement and announcing the same to the society is known as an Engagement Ceremony. It is a fun-filled pre-wedding ritual. The period from the engagement to the wedding is known as Courtship and the to-be husband and wife are referred to as betrothed, fiancé-fiancée, or engaged to be married. It is one of the most beautiful periods in a couple’s life as they meet each other to get to know each other better. It is a formally permitted period of dating in an arranged marriage.

The bride and the groom are chosen by each other and their families by various methods such as common acquaintances or matrimonial platforms. Horoscopes are matched to check compatibility. The families along with the couple agree to announce it to the entire world through a celebration. The Engagement Puja is organised so that all the Gods and Goddesses bless the couple for the most momentous occasion of their life and also for their happy life together after that. It is also known as Ring Ceremony because the couple exchanges rings. Other names for engagement puja include sagai, roka, chunni, Nishchitartham, mangni, kurmai etc.

Any Puja is done to improve the harmony, peace and happiness in our lives; so does an engagement puja.
