Valentine week has started. This week is considered a special week for lovers. However, there is also opposition to the Valentine culture here. Many organizations protest that showing love on Valentine’s Day is not a part of our culture, rather it is distorting Indian culture. If we read ancient texts and plays, it seems that love and its display has been there in our culture as well. The traditions of ancient India have been very forward in terms of love and marriage.

In a play by Kalidas, there is a clear mention of how a girlfriend sends courtship to her lover through a red flower during spring. Atharvveda talks much further. He says that in ancient times the parents happily allowed the girl to choose her own love.

In Europe, Valentine’s Day is on 14 February. Exactly during this time spring season has come in our country. Which is also called honey month or aphrodisiac season. In this season, we have always had the gulal of love and romance in the air. Spring has been directly associated with love.

…and the proposal was sent with red flowers
It is believed that Kalidas lived between 150 BC and 600 years. Kalidas wrote the play Malavikagnimitram by making the second Sunga ruler Agnimitra the hero. Agnimitra ruled in 170 BC. In this play, he mentions how Queen Iravati sends a love request to King Agnimitra through a red flower on the arrival of spring.

Spring used to be the season of romance
During the time of Kalidas, on the arrival of spring, the feelings of romance used to fly with wings. This was the ideal time for the performance of all the dramas immersed in the love affair. At this time women used to swing on the swing with their husbands. He used to get excited from outside in body and mind. Perhaps for the same reason it was also called Madanotsav. There is a custom of worshiping Kamdev and Rati in this season.

There was also a tradition like livin
Hindu texts also say that girls in ancient India had the right to choose their own husbands. They used to meet each other on their own terms. They used to agree to live together with consent. That is, if a young couple liked each other, they would have joined each other. Even they did not need the consent of their parents for their marriage. According to the Vedic books, this was the earliest and most common method of marriage in the Rig Vedic period. There was also a tradition like live in relationship.

An excerpt from the Atharvaveda says, the guardians usually let the girl choose her own love. He directly used to encourage her for love affairs.

Then Gandharva considered marriage as the best

When the mother felt that the daughter had become young enough to choose a husband for herself, she would happily allow her to do so. There was nothing unusual in this. If someone used to do Gandharva marriage without religious tradition, then it was considered the best marriage.

This is still the case in many tribal societies.
If the boy and the girl liked each other, they would have lived together for a while. Then the society used to think about their marriage. Even today in the country from Chhattisgarh to North East and in many tribal societies, such methods are going on.
