Thematic expression: 'flowing emotions' through photographs of a marriage

While photographing an event like marriage in India; 
we encounter innumerable 'SHADES OF EMOTIONS', played fast, in quick succession, 
on faces and in body languages of the 'SUBJECTS', 
involved there in. 

That's pure magic, a challenge for any 'SHUTTERBUG' to capture them in flickering seconds of those deciding moments.
Happiness is the predominant mood in arranged Indian marriages too, except one occasion when bride finally says goodbye to her home, friends and relatives specially close family members.

This is called Vidai (विदाई),  a bit emotional part of the marriage.
Here are a few pictures of the same occasion..
