Ishtadevata blesses the wedding

The tutelary deity Ishtadevata blesses the marriage.

Ishtadevata is a term which in Hinduism designates the favorite deity or preferred deity of a believer. The term can also be taken to mean a tutelary deity or an aspect of God that is particularly revered.

The concept of Ishtadevata emphasizes the tolerance that the Hindu faith has towards religious pluralism. Regardless of their belief in one God of many incarnations or multiple gods, Hindus can choose the divine form that most inspires them. While some sects encourage the choice of a personal deity, others believe that the god chooses them.
