Background
Indian weddingis thought to be the bringing of two
people who are said to be compatible. Hindu
weddingceremoniesare traditionally conducted at least
partially inSanskrit, the language of most
holyHinduceremonies. The local language of the people
involved is also used since most Hindus do not understand
Sanskrit. They have many rituals that have evolved since
traditional times and differ in many ways from the modern
westernweddingceremony and also among the different
regions, families, andcastessuch asRajput
weddingsandIyer weddings. The Hindus attach a lot of
importance tomarriages, and the ceremonies are very
colorful and extend for several days.

Problem Identification
As the world evolves, the cultures and rituals are
not performed and heritage in proper. Some
rituals are being ignored as they dont see the
meaning behind it and the purpose of it. A
proper explanation and meaning behind of every
rituals and ceremony are given in order for good
cultures, family values, emotions and traditions
and cultural ethics to be heritage for future
generations. Besides that, a ceremony with
proper explanation will be done with good
emotions and happiness.

Aim and objectives

To promote the good elements of an Indian

wedding and the way it changes the perceptions
of an Indian wedding.
To cultivate the cultural essence behind an Indian
wedding.
To give explanation behind every ceremony and
rituals those have been done.
To give a better understanding of the Indian
matrimony.

Motivation
I am an Indian and I am sad to say that I
myself dont know about Indian wedding and
its rituals in the proper way. Sometimes, we
just follow what the elderly says without
knowing the purpose and reasons behind. I
would give enhance my knowledge in this
and also share with the others about our own
cultural and rituals.

Ideation and concept

Create an interactive application of Indian
wedding with illustrations and all the information
in not so boring or common way. The interaction
application will be a video base and has sensory
features that will allow users to interact with it
while watching the ceremony itself. In the same
time, it will allow them to read the information
given about each and every rituals happening on
the video.

Software Studies

Adobe Flash
Flash is used to create action scripts for my
application and also to create the interface of the
design and animations.

Adobe Premium
This software is used to edit my video that is the main
objective of this application. Audio is edited accordingly
and unwanted parts of the original is removed using this
software.

Adobe Dreamweaver
This software is used to edit the Gallery page of my
application.

I had difficult time researching for the contents and

finalized it. I took the advantage of having Design
Research subject and have found my contents
along with the contents for Design Research.
It took some time to actually finalized my contents
because I had so many information based on the
same issue. Different writer gave their view of
point differently.
Since its a magazine content, I had a tough time
typing all of it out. I had a little help from my
friends though. They actually helped me typing it
out.

I had a big time with the coding and

programming. Placing the video in the Flash
was a big problem. The length of the video
doesnt allow it to be embedded into the
timeline.
Later on, I have found alternate way to insert
hotspots without having to embed the video
into the timeline which is by placing the
hotspots according to the coordinate of the
stage based on the seconds of the video.

I hope this application will achieve its goal

which is to deliver the cultural facts of an
Indian Wedding to current and future
generation.

I also hope that this application will be

useful and the information within is
delivered for good.

A people without the knowledge of their past

history, origin and culture is like a tree without
roots.
