There is no greater charity in the whole world than Kanya Daan.
In Hindu religion, there is no greater donation than donating a girl child. In Kanya Daan, the groom promises his father that he will always take care of his daughter and will now fulfill the responsibility of protecting her throughout her life. According to Acharya Pandit Narendra Prasad Shastri, the bride is the form of Mother Lakshmi and the groom is the form of Lord Shri Narayana.
The knot of the bride and groom is a symbol of unity.
Prominent scholar of Arya Samaj, Kamlesh Garg, says that the groom’s sister ties the end of her dupatta with betel nut, copper coin and Akshat in the bride’s saree, which is a symbol of unity, prosperity and happiness for the couple. This knot represents the eternal bond of marriage.
