Answer: Option D
Solution:
Panigrahan is when the groom clasps in his hand the hand of the bride, with her fingers and her palm facing downwards. The saptapadi are steps taken to be liberated from the Saptaloks (Seven higher regions) and saptakoshas (Seven subtle sheaths) as a couple. A Hindu marriage gets legalized only after completion of the saptapadi.
