"The joy on the faces of both bride and groom is just mesmerizing. And her father to join at the end is just wonderful. Great one to start the day ...!!!"

A video is going viral on the internet in which a woman is seen playing chenda melam at her wedding ceremony in Kerala. Before moving on to the stage for the rituals, the bride along with Shinkari Melam artists played the drums.

Chenda is a cylindrical percussion instrument used as an accompaniment during various dances and rituals in Kerala. It is also played at weddings.

“A marriage function in Guruvayur temple today. The bride's dad is Chendai master and the daughter plays it enthusiastically with her dad also joining at the end. The groom also seems to be participating,” the caption of the post shared on Twitter read.

Soon after being posted, the video won the hearts of social media users and garnered over 49000 views and several comments.

"She is the star of the video. It's  about her. Her expressions, her saree, her energy....after all it's her marriage. God bless her. And, she is a beautiful bride...," another user wrote.

"Very beautiful and thousand times better than those brides doing lap dance on their wedding," a third wrote.
