Haldi(Turmeric) Rasm

Haldi rasam (ritual) is a very old Indian ceremony, preceding the wedding. It generally happens after the mehndi (henna) ceremony, either the day before or the morning of the wedding. This ritual was introduced prior to the beauty salons and the commercial facials and it is a beautifying session for the bride. Once the mehndi and haldi are applied, the bride-to-be is forbidden to leave the house until the wedding ceremony, in case an evil eye is cast on her and the impending wedding.
