As Indian wedding photographers and videographers, we have been blessed with the incredible opportunity to witness and capture the most beautiful moments in people’s lives. Among these cherished experiences, one particular tradition stands out — the act of family members pushing your car after your wedding ceremony.
Yes, you have guessed it right, there is a reason for it! Pushing the car holds deep cultural and emotional value in Indian culture. Pushing the car at the end of an Indian wedding symbolizes your family’s support and blessings for you and your fiancee. No, they don’t want to get rid off you, not at all. 🙂 The act represents the collective effort of your family to help or propel you forward into your new married life together. As your family members push the car, they symbolically express their desire for a smooth and successful journey for you, providing a foundation of love and support you embark on your new phase of life.
Another belief associated with the tradition of pushing the car is the idea of warding off evil spirits. In Hindu Indian culture, weddings are considered holy but also attract negative energies. By physically pushing the car, your family members are believed to create a protective barrier around the you and your fiancee, ensuring your safe passage into married life. It is believed to bring good luck and prosperity, setting the stage for a harmonious and blessed journey ahead.
We captured these moments at Hotel Loews in Miami Beach. From a Indian wedding photography and videography perspective, capturing the moments of family members pushing your car offers a wealth of emotional and visually striking imagery. The genuine smiles, laughter captured in these frames serve as lasting memories for you and your family.
