Schedule

Sanchak & Mehendi

6:00 pm - 11:00 pm

The Sanchak/Mehendi is a pre-wedding function, in which mehendi or henna is applied to the hands and feet of the bride, her friends and relatives. The theme of the ceremony is green, the color of the henna, as well as orange and yellow. Traditionally, the families, sans the bride, then proceed to the groom’s place, where the bride’s sisters and cousins apply a dot of mehendi on the finger of the groom and demand money in a playful gesture. This part of the ceremony is called Sanchak, but most families prefer conducting this along with the Mehendi ceremony in a common venue. In traditional families, the bride and the groom are not allowed to see each other during all their pre-wedding functions until the wedding day.
