The Haldi Ceremony in Indian Weddings by Luxury Weddings

146 245

The Haldi ceremony is a ritual holy bath, (variously known as pithi ceremony, gaaye holud, gatro horidra, tel Baan, pellikuturu, mangala snaman )which is one of the pre-wedding ceremonies in Hindu weddings of India. Ground and pasted Turmeric (Haldi), oil is applied and water is poured on both the bride and groom by married women on the morning of the wedding. Turmeric is known for its medicinal properties as well as being antiseptic and anti-inflammatory, and application of this ingredient before marriage would ensure that the bride and groom are blessed with blemish-free glowing skin. At times sandalwood and curd are also mixed with the paste. Yellow is considered a color associated with happiness and harmony, a ritual flower-shower with yellow flowers ( preferably marigold) is followed by the application of the Haldi paste and a haldi-Holi ( throwing of yellow colors) is played. Often the decor of the Haldi ceremony is done in bright summer colors with preferably yellow and white flowers, and the relatives are encouraged to wear yellow, orange, and white-colored clothes. The bride traditionally wears something in yellow and often wears flower jewelry. Women in the house, also sing local folk songs associated with the ritual while applying turmeric paste on the bride/groom. The family feeds sweets to each other after the ritual is over.

Svaha by Ashwin Kumar

15 8

It's customary to invoke Agni's wife, Svaha as it's believed that the Gods won't take an offering unless they hear her name.

A crude translation - 'all hail'
