A wedding is a union of two souls, and in India, according to Santan Dharam, marriage is the union for the next seven lives. It is considered divine intervention and ‘Shiv and Shakti milan‘. It is often said that Santan Dharam doesn’t believe in conversion, but rather, people follow it as a way of living. Recently, we stumbled upon a black bride, who is a Krishna devotee, who got married as per the Santani ritual.

The bride, Syama, is a deity cosmetologist, as per her Instagram page. She transforms Krishan shilas into Lord Jagannath and many more deities using clay. Her love for Indian Gods and Goddesses is clearly visible on her work page, where she often shares glimpses of the deities she has made over the years.
