After Haldi, please enjoy lunch served in the on-site restaurant. The next event starts shortly after - please ensure you have enough time to get ready for the Baraat and Wedding!

Safa Tying

3:00 pm - 3:30 pm

Safa tying, also known as tying a pagri or turban, is a traditional practice in various regions of India, particularly Rajasthan, and is an important part of celebrations like weddings. It involves wrapping a long, often unstitched cloth around the head in a specific manner! This will be a fun event for any male guests who want to participate and pregame the Baraat with the groom. Once the Baraat is over, you can take off the head wrap and return it.

Procession of Baraat

3:30 pm - 5:00 pm

INDIAN ATTIRE ONLY. Your Indian wedding-ready outfit! No red, and white is reserved for immediate family only, but you can wear dark/neutral colors! The more embroidery, sequins, mirror work, silk, and bold jewelry - the better!

The Baraat is a celebratory parade for the groom on his wedding day (this is where you see the groom's grand entrance on an elephant, horse, vintage car, etc.). It's a big party with his family and friends, showing how excited they are for him. The bride's family and guests usually watch the baraat arrive, marking the start of the wedding celebrations!
