The custom
What happens at the haldi?
The haldi is a paste of turmeric, gram flour, sandalwood and rose water applied to the bride and the groom, each at their own home, usually on the day before the wedding or on the wedding morning. Family and close friends apply it in turn, and it often ends in a water-and-colour free-for-all. Most families ask guests to wear yellow, and it is kind to warn them their clothes may stain.
