This dinner is for guests coming in from outside Kolkata to mingle, get to know each other, and commiserate about the long travel you took to get here (did we say how much we appreciate you?!). You can also explore the city on your own; we can provide suggestions for our favorite restaurants in the city.

Attire suggestion: Indian or Western formals
A fun but competitive dance-off between the bride and groom's families (and dinner, of course!). This continues into an afterparty for even more dancing and fun.

Attire suggestion: Bright colors
Come and apply turmeric paste to Elana and Anurag to wish them good luck, prosperity, and blessings for a happy marriage. Expect to get your hands dirty! Mehendi (henna tattoo) artists will be available for guests.

The wedding tends to run around 3 hours, with Elana and Anurag performing ceremonies with family. Guests will enjoy food and conversation at a concurrent reception but can also pop in to witness the wedding ceremonies if they want (they are quite fun)!
