Saptapadi (Sanskrit: सप्तपदी, romanized: Saptapadī, lit. 'seven steps') or saat phere (Hindi: सात फेरे, sāt phéré, lit. 'seven circumambulations') is regarded to be the most important rite (Sanskrit: rītī) of a Hindu wedding ceremony. In this rite, the bride and the groom tie a knot and take seven steps together, or seven rounds around a sacred fire accompanied by one vow for each step. After the seventh step or circuit is taken, the marriage of the couple is regarded to be complete as per Hindu tradition.[1][2]
