The concept of ‘Godha Kalyanam’ refers to the divine marriage of Andal, also known as Godha, and Lord Vishnu, specifically as Ranganatha (a form of Lord Vishnu). Godha is revered, known for her profound love and devotion to Lord Ranganatha (Vishnu).
In the Vaishnavism, Godha ‘s devotion and her desire to marry Lord Ranganatha are celebrated through the ‘Godha Kalyanam’ ceremony, especially during the festival of ‘Godha Kalyanam.’ This ritual signifies the mystical and spiritual union between Godha Devi, representing the embodiment of devotion, and Lord Ranganatha , portraying the divine deity.
During these ceremonies, devotees celebrate Godha’s devotion and dedication to Lord Ranganatha by symbolically performing their wedding rituals, marking the divine union between the two souls immersed in love and devotion.
