Rukmini Swayamvar For Marriage -

Following the escape, the marriage was solemnized in Dwarka with great pomp and show, adhering to the Vedic rites. This union is often analyzed for its deep symbolism. Rukmini represents the devoted soul (Jiva) yearning for the Divine (Paramatma). Her sending of the messenger represents the act of prayer—reaching out to God in distress. Krishna’s immediate arrival signifies God's readiness to respond to a sincere call. The opposition from her family represents the worldly attachments and obstacles that try to keep the soul tethered to material existence.
