Kairavi & Mohan’s Snāthakam: A Golden Prelude to Forever

Kairavi & Mohan’s Snāthakam: A Celebration of Love and Tradition in Nairobi

Kairavi & Mohan’s Snāthakam in Nairobi was a celebration that shimmered with gold, devotion, and divine grace. Set within a beautifully decorated hall adorned in white, gold, and touches of red florals, the ceremony reflected centuries of tradition meeting modern elegance.

For Soho Studio, this wasn’t just another wedding — it was our first Snāthakam, a timeless ritual rich with culture, symbolism, and emotion. Every frame told a story of heritage, purity, and the sacred beginning of two souls stepping into a new chapter together. Family and friends gathered close, their smiles warm, their hearts filled with anticipation. It wasn’t just a ritual; it was a living poem, one that danced between faith and forever.

A Sacred Beginning

Before the music began, a stillness filled the room. At the center sat the Maharaj, cross-legged beside Mohan and his family, surrounded by offerings and the soft glow of a sacred fire.

The chants began — ancient, rhythmic, and powerful. Mohan bowed his head in humility as he offered sacred grains into the fire. Each offering symbolized purification, gratitude, and readiness for the path ahead. The fire crackled gently, its light reflecting in his eyes — a reminder that every journey begins with surrender.

This was more than a ceremony; it was a spiritual passage — the symbolic moment where the groom leaves behind student life and embraces his new role as a husband and leader of his home.

The Circle of Blessings

As the chants faded, the rhythm of drums and horns filled the air. Women circled Mohan, holding green leaves in their hands, their movements flowing in unity. Each step carried meaning — a dance of blessings, protection, and joy.

Then came a moment of grandeur as Mohan walked beneath a royal umbrella, surrounded by family and friends. The energy in the room was both sacred and alive — ancient culture unfolding in real time.

Moments later, Kairavi entered, radiant in green, her calm presence soft against the hall’s golden glow. The contrast was striking — her elegance, the music, the reverence of every gaze. Together, under blessings and prayers, their souls met in quiet celebration.

The Jaimala

The air turned playful as Kairavi and Mohan were lifted high by their loved ones, laughter echoing through the hall as they tried to place garlands (Jaimala) around each other’s necks. The moment was full of energy, fun, and love — a reminder that joy always finds its way in.

A Moment Etched in Gold

Kairavi & Mohan’s Snāthakam was a story of heritage, devotion, and love — a beautiful fusion of gold, white, and green that glowed with meaning and grace.

For us at Soho Studio, capturing this moment was deeply humbling. It reminded us that weddings aren’t just events — they’re timeless legacies, woven from laughter, faith, and quiet magic that stays long after the day has ended.
