Haldi & Mehndi Carnival
11:00 am - 3:00 pm
NH 31 Babatpur - Mariahu Link Road, Varanasi, UP 221006, India
The Vibe: We’re starting with a bang! Imagine a lakeside riot of color, street food stalls, and the thunderous beat of Live Dhols. It’s high-energy, it’s messy, and it’s a total celebration of our 10-year journey. Come prepared to dance to the dhol and get a little "haldi-fied!"
The Dress Code: "Color Explosion" Forget the matching sets—we want Multi-color Fun! Think vibrant prints, eclectic patterns, and a kaleidoscope of hues. For the Ladies: Bright lehengas, floral jewelry, or breezy colorful co-ords. For the Gents: Quirky prints, colorful kurtas, or even those bold "Carnival" shirts. The Rule: If it’s bright and makes you want to dance, wear it!
Reception
6:00 pm
NH 31 Babatpur - Mariahu Link Road, Varanasi, UP 221006, India
The Night Baraat The party isn’t over! We’re kicking off the night with a massive, star-lit Baraat. Expect a bigger crowd as more loved ones join our family for this final, high-energy procession. Jaimala & Gala Dinner After the dancing, we’ll move to the Jaimala and a celebratory Gala Dinner. It’s time for toasts, endless pictures, and a grand finale under the Varanasi night sky!
Dress Code: Elegant & Regal The Vibe: Formal Evening Wear or Festive Silks. The Palette: Deep jewel tones (Emerald, Royal Blue, Maroon) or classic Black & Gold. Pro-Tip: The lake breeze gets chilly at night—bring a warm layer!
Engagement and Dj Night
6:30 pm - 11:00 pm
NH 31 Babatpur - Mariahu Link Road, Varanasi, UP 221006, India
The Vibe: Once the sun sets, we’re turning up the volume. We’re making it official with our exchange of rings, followed by an all-night dance floor marathon. Think strobe lights, heavy bass, and a "Varanasi-meets-Vegas" energy.
The Dress Code: "Liquid Gold & Midnight Sparkle" We want high-shine and party-ready! Think metallic tones, sequins, and deep "after-dark" colors like Emerald, Navy, or Midnight Black. For the Ladies: Cocktail gowns or sequined lehengas that catch the light. For the Gents: Sharp blazers or bandhgalas with a hint of sheen. The Rule: If it doesn't sparkle under a disco ball, it's not sparkly enough!
