The small kids of Omkarananda Preparatory School enacted Shiva Parvati Vivaha, the mythological marriage of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, at Omkarananda Kamakshi Devi Temple. A group of kids sang the bhajans (devotional hymns) describing the divine marriage with an active participation of the audience, while the other group enacted the scenes with full devotion.
Himalaya Raj, father of the bride, sends Narada ji with the wedding invitation to Lord Brahma. Gods and Goddesses come nicely dressed. But the groom Lord Shiva arrives riding his bull Nandi, wearing a tiger skin and skulls, and ash smeared over his body. The friends of the bride are deeply worried by this strange appearance of the groom. But the bride remains completely confident about her choice and considers herself the luckiest one in the entire universe. The marriage is carried out with Vedic rituals and the newly wed couple leaves for the holy mountain Kailas. All are in bliss for having witnessed such a divine occasion.
At the end Arati was performed and Prasadam was distributed. The whole atmosphere was charged with an air of divine festivity.
