Rama!
[happy music playing]
Son,
all my four sons
are getting married at the same time and on the same day.
I don't remember
if I was this happy in my life before.
Son,
please wear your wedding dress.
[ethereal music playing]
Omniscient Ram Asray, what have you brought?
It's an opportunity.
It's the last opportunity a man gets
before their wedding.
If he wishes, he can decide
to refuse to enter this relationship
at the last moment.
They may choose to travel to Kashi,
choose asceticism and get liberated.
Ram Asray, how could you say this
during the auspicious moment of a wedding?
Your Majesty, a marriage doesn't benefit anyone.
As it is, the wedding bliss is short-lived.
The real motive of life is liberation.
Marriage isn't a bed of roses.
It's a thorny road.
That's the reason, the journey to Kashi is a custom
and also a choice.
Ram Asray, if you have given me this choice,
I'll surely ponder.
- Rama... - However, before I make a choice,
shouldn't I ponder?
You may ponder for sure.
You may mull over, ponder, think over and discuss.
We are here for the same.
Before I choose asceticism,
it's important to know an ascetic's duty.
It means renouncing all kinds of worldly pleasures
and working for the upliftment of this world.
Ram Asray, who is the biggest ascetic in this world?
I'm not sure
but I have heard
that Mahadeva residing on Mount Kailash is One such Ascetic.
Then why is Mahadeva
a married man?
[amusing music playing]
Why did the creator of the universe,
Lord Brahma marry?
Also, why is the administrator, Lord Vishnu
incomplete without Goddess Lakshmi, Ram Asray?
[conch-shell playing]
Why does Grihastha Ashram
precede Sannyasa Ashram and Vanaprastha Ashram
in the Hindu ashram system, Shri Ram Asray?
Shri Rama, my answer could be different from yours
so I'd like to know your answer first.
Sure.
We can't achieve deliverance without fulfilling our responsibilities.
God sent us into this world with a purpose.
Leaving this life without fulfilling it
isn't asceticism
but eluding our responsibilities, Shri Ram Asray.
Grihastha Ashram is meant to teach us the duty of an ascetic.
A person fulfils the responsibilities of their family.
They slog for their family's sake.
If a person can't empathise with their family,
they can never empathise with this world, Shri Ram Asray.
That's the reason,
Mahadeva isn't worshipped sans Goddess Gauri.
They want to teach us
that asceticism means
participation and not escapism
in the journey of life.
Brilliant.
Incomparable, Shri Rama! Matchless!
This is the importance of the offer to travel to Kashi.
It teaches a person
the importance of marriage before their marriage.
Shri Ram Asray, now please tell me
the right choice for me.
Shri Rama, your destiny has already made the choice for you.
You are completely ready to enter
the Grihastha Ashram.
You have my blessings.

Stunning.
Shri Rama's wedding procession is ready
to fill the whole world with joy.
- Hail Shri Rama! - [conch-shell playing]
[joyful music playing]
[song playing]
[joyful vocalising]
All of you look stunning.
We can hear the music.
It seems Shri Rama
will soon reach along with his wedding procession to get his Sita.
[chuckling]
There's just one problem. Shri Rama might be shocked
to see Goddess Lakshmi in the form of his bride, Sita.
[laughing]
[joyful music playing]
[exhilarating music playing]
[theme song playing]
- He is our Rama! - He is our Rama!
- Rama, we also want to join you! - Rama, we also want to join you!
Please join us.
- Hail Shri Rama! - Hail Shri Rama!

Sita, the wedding procession has reached the entrance.
[song playing]
[conch-shell playing]
Sita, are you ready to do the ritual of showering the flowers?
You are marrying an archer.
You must aim for Shri Rama's heart.
What if he gets hurt?
The whole world pines to get hurt in love.
This blow won't hurt him
but make him joyous.

Rajarshi, what are you up to?
Please don't stop me.
You are the groom's father.
Yes,
and you are the bride's father.
We are relatives.
[mellow music playing]
You lovingly and dedicatedly
raised your four daughters
and now you are sending them to our house forever.
My dear relative,
you deserve my affection
and respect.
[mellow music playing]
But
why are you crying?
If a daughter
gets such gracious in-laws,
a father would certainly shed tears of happiness.
[mellow music playing]
May God give you a long life.
Please come.
[vessel clanking]
No, Rajarshi.
[mellow music playing]
It's not needed.
The father of my better half
is also my father.
It's not right for the father to touch his son's feet.
Son Rama,
the custom of worshipping the groom is age-old.
A groom
is the form of Narayana.
[conch-shell playing]
Washing the groom's feet is a ritual.
A groom's feet are washed so that he enters a new relationship
with a clean and pious pair of feet.
So you may sprinkle water on my feet.
However, you own the right
to get your feet touched always.
[mellow music playing]
May God bless you with a long life.
Please be seated.
[mellow music playing]
[theme song playing]
You didn't allow her father to touch your feet
but you can't snatch the mother's right to apply kohl to your eyes.
To protect you from the evil eye,
I'm applying this... [chuckling]
[theme song playing]
Please fill your eyes with my Sita's love forever,
just like this kohl.
[joyful music playing]
May God keep you blessed with happiness and prosperity.
