What is Kumbha Vivah?


Kumbha Vivah is getting married to a pot and this is suggested for those females and males whose horoscope has a bad marriage prediction. This is strictly related to astrology. The ritual is based on folk tradition and beliefs. Some people consider this as superstition.

In Kumbha Vivah – the Kumbha stands for void or null.

Kumbha is a clay pot. It has nothing inside it. By getting first married to the Kumbha the belief is that all the bad predicted in the first marriage gets over.

The pot is broken and thus all bad ends with the broken pot.

There are several variations of this ritual.

The ritual is mostly performed by mangaliks or people who have chowa dosham in their horoscope.

There is difference of opinion even among astrologers regarding the outcome of the ritual. Some say it will solve all the problems. But others are of the view that it does not mitigate the doshas.

Sir, same was suggested to me by many astrologers. But being here in south india, they did not know how to perform kumbh vivah and suggested for vishnu vivah where they cut the banana tree after marriage rituals.

But since I keep thursday fast and perform pooja of banana tree, i didnt feel like cutting it.

So I have now performed Pipal vivah against Kumbh vivah. It was done a month back but the tree was not cut since it was a huge tree and many such rituals are done there.

I would like to ask you if its alright to get pipal vihah done instead of kumbh vivah? Also since the tree is not cut, what are the implications of the same?

Many Thanks
