This is a fun filled ceremony, in which loved ones will apply Haldi on Bride and Groom.The Haldi ceremony is a joyful and colorful pre-wedding ritual celebrated in many Indian cultures, especially among Hindus. It usually takes place a day or two before the wedding at the bride’s and groom’s respective homes. Haldi is the Hindi word for turmeric, a yellow-colored spice known for its purifying, healing, and beautifying properties. In this ceremony, a special paste made of turmeric, sandalwood, rose water, and sometimes milk or yogurt is applied to the bride and groom’s face, neck, hands, and feet.

The Groom’s Entry: Traditionally, the groom arrives on a white horse (called a ghodi), often dressed like a prince in a sherwani, safa (turban), and sometimes carrying a sword The Baaratis: These are the groom’s relatives, friends, and family who dance and celebrate around him. Music and Dance: A dhol (drum) or brass band leads the procession. Everyone dances energetically in the street, sometimes for hours! DJs on moving trucks or sound systems on wheels are common in modern baarats. Fireworks & Lights: Some baarats include fireworks, LED lights, and flower showers to make the event even more spectacular. 🕌 At the Wedding Venue: Welcoming the Groom Once the baarat reaches the wedding venue, the bride’s family welcomes the groom and his party in a ritual called the Milni. 🌟 Significance of the Baarat It symbolizes the groom’s arrival to formally ask for the bride’s hand in marriage. It represents joy, celebration, and the merging of two families.

The Varmala (also known as Jaimala) is a beautiful and symbolic ritual that takes place during an Indian wedding, usually right after the groom arrives with the Baarat and is welcomed by the bride’s family. Stage Setup: A beautifully decorated stage is prepared where the bride and groom meet. Garland Exchange: The bride usually garlands the groom first, followed by the groom placing the garland on the bride. In some fun traditions, the groom’s friends might lift him up to make it difficult for the bride to reach him, and vice versa! Cheers & Celebrations: Family and friends cheer, throw flower petals, and play music during this joyful moment. It is often the first public appearance of the bride and groom together during the wedding.

Phere Ceremony: The Phere (also called Saptapadi) is the most sacred and central ritual in a traditional Hindu wedding. It involves the bride and groom walking seven times around the holy fire (Agni) while making seven vows to each other. A sacred fire is lit in the mandap (wedding canopy). The priest chants Vedic mantras as the bride and groom hold hands or are tied together with a dupatta or scarf (called ‘Gathbandhan’). They walk seven times around the fire, with the groom usually leading the first three rounds and the bride leading the last four (in many traditions). After the Phere, the marriage is considered official and sacred.
