Brahmins Organized Indian Marriage System Tholkappiyar

Though marriage is considered to be sacred in Hinduism and has elaborate Rituals to solemnize and conduct marriages, I have not been able to find any definite information on who organized this system of marriage.

I could not find the origin of marriage details from the Puranas, Vedas or Ithihasas.

All these texts glorify and explain the rituals connected with Marriage.

The first written record on who organized marriage as a System is found in the ancient Tamil Grammar Book, Tholkappiyam, written by Tholkappiar, a disciple of Sage Agasthya.

Hindu Scriptures List

To list Hindu Scripture is an impossible task.

For example, the Ramayana has over 1600 versions!

We have Languages , other than Sanskrit, of which we are familiar with, we have Tamil , which has innumerable texts of Religious importance.

The other Indian Languages, at least 18 of them are quite rich and they have their texts.

I am furnishing a List which is indicative of the Ocean that is Hinduism.

This may be considered as a starting point.

Corrections suggestions for improvement welcome.
