The parkirma in weddings (anand karaj) is also done clockwise. Why is that ?

Prikrma is the pathway surrounding a holy place or person. It is also the act of walking around that holy place or person in a symbolic gesture of sacrifice unto that object of devotion.
It is both a superstition, and an act of Faith.
