Hindu wedding ceremonies in the diaspora purposefully contribute to the sustenance of Hindu rituals and lifeways. The Hindu Indian community in Durban, South Africa has sought to uphold its marriage traditions and rituals, which have also been influenced by both local and Western cultural trends. Contemporary global and local influences are evident in the culinary consumption trends at Hindu weddings. Food consumption patterns and preferences have evolved to serve as identity markers of sociocultural patterns and social class positions amid middle-class Indians in Durban. This qualitative study based on twenty-five in-depth interviews reflects on the ways in which food is used to celebrate and represent Hindu traditions and beliefs at Indian South African Hindu weddings, how food reflects on status, how conditions have changed, and various reasons for such change. The study contributes to the lacunae in scholarly literature concerning critical appreciation of Hindu weddings in contemporary South Africa. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Asian Ethnology is the property of Nanzan University and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
