The haldi ceremony, a vibrant pre-wedding ritual in Indian weddings, signifies blessings, purification, and beauty for the bride and groom. It involves applying a paste of turmeric (haldi) to the couple's skin which is believed to ward off evil, purify, and bring a radiant glow. The ceremony also fosters family unity and joy. Marital advice is also welcomed :)
