Artist's Comments

Two days before the Wedding, the 'Haldi (Turmeric) Ceremony' is performed.

The women from the bride's family apply a paste of haldi and oil on the bride's face, arms and feet.

The Mehndi Ceremony is held on the morning before the Wedding (or one day before).

A paste of henna is applied in traditional designs on the palms and feet of the bride, and all the women from her side, by professional 'mehendiwallis'.
