marriage. These practices are deeply rooted in faith and tradition, aiming to
invoke the divine blessings of deities associated with marriage and love.

Prayers to Lord Krishna: Devotees chant mantras and offer prayers to Lord Krishna, seeking his blessings for a timely and blissful marriage. Observing Ekadasi Vrat, among other rituals, is believed to invoke the blessings of Lord Krishna.
Goddess Shakti Prayers: Worship of Goddess Shakti, particularly Goddess Parvati, is considered auspicious for early marriage. Devotees perform various vrats such as Hartalika Teej Vrat and Gauri Vrat, seeking the blessings of the divine feminine for marital happiness.
