Kanyadana
For the 1965 film, see Kanyadan (film).
Kanyadana (Sanskrit: कन्यादान, romanized: Kanyādāna) is a Hindu wedding ritual. Inscriptional evidence of this tradition can be found on 15th century stones found in the Vijayanagara Empire in South India. There are different interpretations regarding kanyadana across South Asia.
The kanyadana ritual occurs before the sindoor ritual (sinduradana).
