What Is Deep Daan?
Deep Daan literally means “offering of lamps.” It is a devotional ritual where oil lamps (diyas) are lit and offered as a symbol of light, purity, and blessings before or during wedding celebrations.
When Is It Held?
Deep Daan may be performed:
- Before the wedding ceremony
- During Ganesh Puja
- As part of temple rituals
- Or during other sacred pre-wedding prayers
Its timing varies by community.
Who Typically Celebrates It?
Deep Daan is observed in:
- North Indian Hindu weddings
- Some temple-centered wedding traditions
- Families with strong devotional practices
It is more symbolic than event-based in many cases.
What Happens During the Ceremony?
Family members light diyas and offer prayers to deities for harmony and prosperity. The ritual may take place at home or in a temple setting.
Is It Optional or Regional?
Deep Daan is optional and devotional rather than mandatory. It is practiced in some Hindu communities but is not a standalone event in most modern weddings.
