Saptapadi
The seven steps around the sacred fire — the saat phere — that make a Hindu marriage.
Saptapadi ("seven steps") is the ritual that legally and religiously completes a Hindu wedding: the couple walks seven times (or takes seven steps) around the fire, each round with a vow — nourishment, strength, prosperity, wisdom, progeny, health and friendship. Everything before it is preparation; after it, they are married.
It is the "saat phere" of song and film, and the image behind TrueSaath Matrimony's own line, "From first hello to saath phere."
