South Indian Wedding Invitations — Tamil, Telugu, Kannada & Kerala
A South Indian wedding invitation is built around the Muhurtham — the auspicious time the thaali or mangalsutra is tied — so the exact time matters as much as the date. A digital invitation shows the Muhurtham, every related function and the venue map in one link.
