In our tradition and culture, gifts carry more than just material value; they carry blessings, meaning and emotion. Among them, the cardamom spice holds a special place.
Known for its aroma and auspicious symbolism, cardamom is regarded as a shagun, a token of prosperity and good fortune. It is believed that gifting cardamom brings more than aroma and flavour; it brings positivity, blessings, and a promise of abundance. From sacred rituals to festive exchanges, this queen of spices in India has long been associated with new beginnings and heartfelt wishes.
In many rituals and ceremonies, green cardamom holds a place of reverence. It is often used during pooja ceremonies, offered along with flowers and other sacred elements to invoke purity, fragrance, and divine blessings. In some wedding traditions, families sometimes shower a blend of flowers and green cardamoms, creating an aromatic gesture of warmth and goodwill.
Green cardamom also finds a sacred place in wedding ceremonies. As the aroma of new beginnings fills the air, families welcome the groom’s procession — the baraat — with garlands woven from green cardamoms, a gesture that signifies warmth, purity, and prosperity. In certain rituals, even the varmala, the garland exchanged between bride and groom, is adorned with cardamom pods. Each pod symbolizes sweetness, harmony, and divine blessings for the couple’s life ahead. This timeless custom reflects how deeply green cardamom is rooted in our culture — more than just a spice, it’s a messenger of good fortune and sacred union.
This wedding season, celebrate the spirit of giving with Emperor Akbar Cardamom, a premium cardamom known for its purity and rich aroma. Its exceptional quality and authentic heritage make it a perfect gift to honour traditions and bless every new journey.
Because when you gift, you don’t just give, you share blessings, you offer goodwill and you give only the best.
