Haldi

The pre-wedding event of Haldi is a purification procedure. Turmeric paste is applied to the bride and groom so that we can be blessed and get rid of any negativity. Haldi marks the beginning of the wedding festivities.

Don't wear anything expensive as you will be getting turmeric all over! Men: Feel free to wear a yellow shirt with some pants you are okay with staining.
