Shaddi kirpaan for the Punjabi groom 

The tradition of keeping the kirpaan along with the groom  during the wedding is an important part of sikh wedding rituals.  The groom is considered to be as a king and the sword is taken as the symbol of its grandeour, keeping it as a weapon. The word kirpaan comprises of two words- kripa means mercy , blessing , kindness and grace of waheyguru ji and Aan refers to the honour, prestige, dignity , righteousness and respect.  Here the kirpaan works not as the mean of aggression but as a meaning of defending the defenceless.  Basically, it connotes to the philosophy of respect for material arts and weapons.
