Bride & Prejudice

In Bride and Prejudice, I noticed that there were some signs referring to Hinduism. In the scene where all the girls are singing in the streets about how happy they are that their friends is getting married and moving to Britain, I noticed they showed a store that was named Vishnu. Vishnu is a Hindu god who is known as the preserver and is commonly seen with a halo around his finger. I thought it was interesting the director decided to show this. Vishnu is the preserver of the religion and it almost like the director was trying to say that the girl getting married to a nice European boy is preserving the Indian culture by marrying a nice, wealthy man, but she is also still staying faithful to her indigenous culture.
