Pithi Ceremony - The Pithi ceremony is an occasion in which family and friends bless the couple with well wishes by rubbing the Pithi paste onto the bride and groom’s arms and face. The paste is believed to be an excellent cleanser for providing glowing skin. This ceremony will be followed by a "Dirty Pithi " for the groom. This fun and messy ceremony symbolizes the groom's passage into marriage, in the form of eggs, flour, condiments, etc. (This is a must-see event!)
