Sangeet, haldi, mehndi, baraat, pheras — the multi-day shape, on one card
Hindu wedding invitation cards online
Multi-event Hindu invitations with a north / south region toggle and an opening shloka set in Devanagari.
Hindu wedding invitations on Zawaaj default to a marigold + crimson + saffron register with the Marigold Mandala template. The opening eyebrow renders ॐ श्री गणेशाय नमः in Devanagari; the default opening verse is the Mangalashtaka. Default event types include sangeet, haldi, pheras, and reception — the core multi-day rhythm — with the north / south region toggle adding roka and tilak (for north_indian) or nichayathartham and muhurtham (for south_indian). The closing blessing reads शुभं भवतु मङ्गलं भवतु — 'May auspiciousness prevail.'

Questions
What people ask
- Does the Hindu preset support both north and south Indian event types?
- Yes. The region toggle on the invitation surfaces region-specific event types in the editor. north_indian adds roka + tilak; south_indian adds nichayathartham + muhurtham. The pan-Hindu set (sangeet, haldi, mehndi, baraat, pheras, reception) is always available. Mixed-region couples can pick generic (no region) and mix and match.
- What's the default opening verse?
- The Mangalashtaka — a wedding-blessing shloka safe across regional Hindu traditions. The full curated Hindu verse library includes additional shlokas; hosts pick from the dropdown in the editor.
- Are the Devanagari renderings handled correctly?
- Yes. Devanagari script renders with the appropriate lang attribute and font fallback chain. The opening eyebrow (ॐ श्री गणेशाय नमः) and closing blessing (शुभं भवतु मङ्गलं भवतु) are baked in for the Hindu preset.
- Does the platform handle baraat timing?
- Yes. The baraat event has a culturalAttributes.baraatTime field where the host enters the procession start time. It renders on the baraat event card on the public invitation.
- Can the invitation handle Tithi (Hindu lunar date)?
- Not yet. showTithi exists as a schema field but the Tithi calendar utility is a roadmap item. For now, Gregorian date is the displayed date on Hindu invitations.
