Haldi (turmeric)
The Haldi ceremony is a traditional pre-wedding ritual in India, celebrated primarily in Hindu weddings. It involves applying a mixture of turmeric, sandalwood paste, and sometimes other ingredients like gram flour and rose water to the bride and groom. The yellow paste is applied to their bodies by family members and close friends, typically a day or two before the wedding. The Haldi ceremony is believed to purify and bless the couple, ensuring good luck, prosperity, and happiness in their married life. The yellow color is symbolic of auspiciousness and is also believed to bring a glow to the skin. The event is filled with joy, laughter, and playful moments, with people often engaging in light-hearted teasing and playful rituals. It is a colorful and lively occasion, often accompanied by music, dancing, and festive food.
Mehendi and sangeet
Mehendi Ceremony: This is a fun and artistic ritual where intricate henna designs are applied to the bride's hands and feet. It's a joyous occasion, often attended by female relatives and friends. The henna symbolizes good fortune, beauty, and fertility. In some traditions, the groom's name is hidden within the mehendi designs, and it is believed that the darker the color of the henna, the stronger the bond between the couple. Sangeet Ceremony: The Sangeet is a musical celebration where both families come together to celebrate the upcoming wedding with dance and song. Traditionally, it was an event where women sang folk songs, but now it's a full-fledged dance party. Family members and friends perform choreographed dances, and there is usually a lot of singing and music.
