Vinayak Sthapna is how a Marwari wedding formally opens — an idol of Ganesh is installed and worshipped at both homes, invoking the remover of obstacles before any of the other rituals begin.
In Marwari — मारवाड़ी में
विनायक स्थापना ब्याव री शुरुआत में करी जावै वाळी रीत है, जिणमें दोन्यां घरां में - दुल्हा अर दुल्हण रे घरां में अलग-अलग - गणेशजी री मूर्ति री स्थापना अर पूजा करी जावै। पंडितजी पूजा करावै अर गणेशजी सूं आशीर्वाद मांग्या जावै के ब्याव रा सगळा काम बिना किणी विघन रे पूरा हो जावै। आ रीत आमतौर पर बाकी सगळा ब्याव रा कार्यक्रमां सूं पैली निभाई जावै, जांणे ब्याव री विधिवत शुरुआत हो।
