The hatha ghanthi is the knot tied by the bride and groom's garments, and my brother fidgeted through the whole thing, more worried about his dhoti coming undone than the symbolism. Saptapadi are the seven sacred steps around the fire. But for me, the real vows were in the quiet moment before, when my brother—who never sits still—calmed completely as the pundit began, his city-boy impatience softened by the *mangala dhwani*. That steadiness was the truest promise.
