Actress Gia Manek, fondly remembered as the original Gopi Bahu of Saath Nibhaana Saathiya, took everyone by surprise by tying the knot with fellow actor Varunn Jain in a traditional yet distinctive wedding ceremony known as Bhuta Shuddhi Vivaha. The couple, who kept their love life in the dark, posted their wedding photos on August 21, and fans were overjoyed. Gia sparkled in a golden silk saree and traditional jewellery, while Varunn complemented her beauty in a bright yellow kurta.
What Is Bhuta Shuddhi Vivaha?
What they got everyone talking about was the nature of their wedding. Rather than a traditional Hindu wedding, Gia and Varunn chose Bhuta Shuddhi Vivaha, a spiritual wedding ritual based on yogic tradition and performed through the Isha Foundation established by Sadhguru.
The name Bhuta Shuddhi is translated as purification of the elements. In yogic philosophy, the human body comprises five basic elements, earth, water, fire, air, and space. The Bhuta Shuddhi technique is designed to purify and attune these elements so that an individual feels balanced, serene, and connected with one’s internal self.
Within the form of marriage, Bhuta Shuddhi Vivaha extends beyond traditional rituals of union. It is intended to unite two people not only on an emotional or social level but also on an elemental level. Throughout the ceremony, the couple exchanges vows around a sacred fire as particular chants and rituals are done. The ritual is said to be very intimate and spiritual, with the intention of creating a partnership that is not merely about companionship but also about growth and shared energy.
