Manjal Kalyanam/ Haldi
Manjal means turmeric and Kalyanam denotes Wedding, this is a super lively pre-wedding event for all the family and friends to enjoy. During this event friends and family will apply a mixture of turmeric and rose water to the couple's body that's said to be auspicious and give the bride and groom a pre bridal glow. The ceremonial application of turmeric and sandalwood paste on the couple's bodies carries profound symbolism, representing purity and serving as a protective barrier against malevolent forces. Our event is held at a open resort with boat ride and scenic views from every angle! Dance, music, food and local alcohol aka toddy will be the highlights of the day.
