The Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 does not specifically indicate any venue for the performance of the marriage ceremony. It should however, be performed as per the customary rituals and at any place, whether be it a temple, at home by the bridegroom, or at a banquet hall as long as the local regulations (for example, permits or occupancy charges) are followed.

Under the Hindu Marriage Act, you can marry at any venue, including your home or a banquet hall, as long as the required customs and rituals are followed. Make sure the marriage is properly registered, and there are witnesses to the ceremony. Choose a location that suits your needs and preferences.
