Haldi


The Haldi ceremony is a cleansing ceremony that normally takes place the day before the wedding. Turmeric powder(Haldi) is mixed with traditional oils to form a paste, the paste is then applied on the body of the bride by female relatives.

This is my cousin Natasha and I, You can see the Haldi on her skin. The haldi is meant to cleanse her body, It is washed of the next morning which will be the morning of her wedding.
