In Vellaramkuthu, Kerala, a picturesque tribal hamlet in the Western Ghats, an elderly tribesman sits around a bonfire to narrate an old tale to a group of children. The atmosphere warms up for a story to unwind. The story of the wedding in the hills.
In olden days the Muthuvan marriage custom - or Penneduppu in local dialect - was a celebration for the entire village, an affair lasting several days. As part of tradition, the bride’s friends playfully hid her in the thick forest around the hamlet. The hapless groom had to quickly use his wits. With a band of trusted friends, he needed to scour the densely wooded hills for his bride, or risk mockery. Meanwhile, the bride’s friends were sly in playing the game. They deliberately misguided the groom’s group by singing ‘aashapattu’, a local wedding song while drawing the bride even further away. He faced the dangers of the forest and wildlife, sometimes for several days, to just ask for her hand.
Once he finds his wife-to-be, the marriage was presided over by the bridesmaids in the forest itself. Ornaments and sarees were exchanged and they were officially married. Blessed by nature in deep dark forest, the couple spent the night there and returned to their village the next day to seek the blessing of the elders.
Come experience a destination wedding of one of its kind, a tradition that is timeless and a couple purely in love. It is truly a wedding made in heaven.

Amazing Bharat..😍😍.So grateful to have come across this video 🙏.
"A word of honour is all that is needed" - The present generation, and the cameramen could learn a few things if they took the time to watch this - matters like what a marriage means and how it should be captured 👍
i have seen celebrity wedding photos but this one is way above them
Am i the only malayali here watched this with subtitle??
Hatts off the team for showcasing such a beautiful tradition that even keralites don't know....
It is incredible to imagine that the film was made only from stories of elders in the Muthuvan tribe and that the couple in the film weren't even aware of the existence of this tradition.
The re-enactment of an ancient tradition was a sight to watch.Stories that come from our elders should be documented just like this film, so that they aren't lost to time.
Ultimate Cinematography ,Amazing Direction And Rahmanish Background Music .And Major Part was that Lost Tradition we come to know.
Always Here After Seeing "Ramnamis" From Virtual Bharat
Great tradition.... now a days people spending lacs of rupees for destination weddings but this is real destination weddings with thrill!!!
Absolutely!
You channel give us glimpse of that part of India ....Which is Unseen for Us🇮🇳🇮🇳
Sleek cinematography, unconventional concept, stand-in direction and great edit. Well done team VBF.
Amazing, these lost tradition (weddings) without any dowry are way more powerful than the today’s artificial wedding.
These traditions never harmed nature instead they built their life around it.
Great work virtual Bharat❤️
Very strong narration, background score, photography, yielded for making this a heart melting documentation.The powerful message makes my day, thanks again for all the crew members,Bala sir .Good luck.
Incredible India !!
You are just throwing more light to it, I highly admire your videos. Can't even imagine how our Bharat would be after all the thousand stories filmed. Thank you Bharatbala and thanks to the whole crew behind. Special love to all those people in
Vellaramkuthu.
A treasure... 🌸 🌸 You only can reveal like this... Greetings brother 🌸 இது தான் உண்மையான பெண் தேடும் படலம்... 🌸
By far one of the most picturesque and soul stirring films from Virtual Bharat. It takes one back in time, elicits respect for deep ancient tradition and brings heart warming romance on screen. Amazing film. Loved it. Loved the colours. Loved the story.....love the happiness it spreads.
#forest is gone so that our tradition
This line needs to be felt
