Wedding between a Peepal and Neem tree - One of the rarest holy wedding performed in India.
This one was performed by my grandfather, Venkatachalam Iyer, at my native place in Kerala to fulfill the promise he made to his father. The peepal tree is of almost the same age as my grandfather. Both had Upanayana at the same time.
From what he told me, the wedding between the Peepal tree(groom) and Neem tree(bride), was performed the same way as any other brahmin wedding- right from the wedding clothes, poojas, homams, to actual muhurtam where the peepal ties the thali on the neem.
A complete wedding lunch followed the wedding.
