The Bala Kanda wedding sequence closes by turning toward those who hear and sing. Love, not literary mastery, is the doorway into Sita and Raghuvira's sacred marriage.
For such listeners and singers, celebration is always present. The mandap, garland, farewell, homecoming, and blessing do not remain confined to a distant royal age.
Ram's glory is the dwelling place of everything auspicious. To remember the wedding with affection is to enter that dwelling through sound and attention, allowing the leela to become inward festival. The story ends upon the page while its joy begins again within the heart that receives it.
Where Sita and Ram's wedding is sung with love, the lamps of celebration remain forever lit.
