What is the importance in hindu marriages to see Arunthathi ?
Friend, In the Hindu vedic Vivaham, the couple are taken out and shown in the direction where there is Saptarshi Mandalam (ursa major or Great Bear). There are 7 stars in it.They are 4 as rectangular and three as a tail to this rectangle.The middle star of the tail is Vashista nad near this star there is a star very tiny blinking.This is the star ARUNDHATHI, wife of Vasista sage.They are an ideal couple.Even in the sky the wife is near the Husband.So this star is shown and the couple are said to lead a life together never leaving one another .That is the meaning of Arundhathi Darshanam.
