If we trace back to the formalities of Royal weddings in ancient times, we come to realise how our ancient people had a higher tradition and the detailed arrangement on marriage occasions.

Before mentioning the details of Myanmar Royal Wedding, it is learned that our ceremonies apart from marriage have been strictly confined to the tradition and customs according to the texts on ceremonial activities on auspicious purpose.

Mingalar is the law that brings prosperity to humans in our society. Everybody is traditionally desirous of making his or her span of life well-blessed. They always think of the blessed beginning and end of life. There are commonly twelve ceremonies in a Myanmar life. If their life is fully-blessed, they are secured to have perfect happiness physically and mentally as long as they live. With this concept, the traditional and cultural activities have come to exist and those have been handed down generation after generation. After a long period, there are altogether twelve auspicious ceremonies to our tradition.

The first ceremony is Vijata mangala that is held to mark the birth of a man when he or she is given birth to at the ripe period.

Next, three days after the birth, Mukhadassana Mangala takes place in order to pay obeisance to the three Gems- the Buddha, the Damma and the Sangha and the ancestors-Nandimukha Devas (deities).

When the child reaches the age of seven days, shaving occasion or Kesiccedana Mangala is traditionally held with the purpose of cleansing the head and body of impurities.

Dolakarana Mangala is to be made in managing the child to be put on cradle. It takes on an auspicious day within two months after birth.

Seventy-fifth day after birth is traditionally known as Tambulapatta Mangala- the occasion of feeding first betel leaf to the child. It is , however, not a misappropriate way of feeding. It is actually made to bless the deities with the offerings of betel leaf to protect the child from evils.

And then three months after the birth, the child is exposed to the sun and the moon. The exposure of the child to these natural bodies in the sky is known as Raweindudassana Mangala.
