First step is to be blessed with pure and nourishing food.

Bridegroom Says : “Om esha ekapadi bhava iti prathaman”
“My beloved, our love becomes firm by your walking one step with me. You will offer my food and be helpful in every way. I will cherish you and provide for your welfare and happiness and that of your children“.

Bride Says : “Dhanam dhanyam pade vadet”
“I humbly submit to you, my lord. Kindly give me the responsibility of the home, food and finance. I promise you that I shall fulfil all responsibilities towards the welfare of the family and the children.”
