Whether it is the anticipation hidden behind the antarpat or the traditional colors of a Nauvari saree, I focus on anticipating these moments so you can stay present in the celebration without worrying if the important traditions are being documented. ### Understanding Your Rituals I have been covering weddings since 2001, and I know that in a Maharashtrian wedding, timing is everything. My approach combines classic traditional photography with candid moments to ensure nothing is missed. * **The Antarpat:** I position myself to capture the exact moment the cloth is lowered, revealing the couple to each other for the first time. * **Mangalsutra Ceremony:** This is the heart of the union. I focus on the groom's hands and the bride's expression, ensuring the significance of the necklace is clear in every frame. * **Homa and Kanyadaan:** These rituals involve specific lighting and solemn expressions. I use my experience with indoor and outdoor mandap setups to keep the focus on the sacred fire and the couple's devotion. ### Why My Coverage Works for Marathi Weddings I understand the flow of the ceremony, from the Sakhar Puda to the Griha Pravesh. You will not find me asking for forced poses during these essential rites. Instead, I blend into the background, letting the family dynamics and the rituals take center stage. My goal is to provide a complete visual story, covering both the grand family gatherings and the quiet, emotional interactions that happen on the periphery of the main stage. Whether it is an Agri-Koli ceremony or a traditional Pune-style wedding, I bring the right equipment to handle the vibrant colors and fast-paced rituals typical of these celebrations. ## About Mohan Karvar I am Mohan. Having been behind the lens since 2001, I do not just see a wedding; I see the story of a family. I understand the specific flow of a Marathi ceremony, so you will not find me directing you to fake poses. I am just there to catch the real you.
