Pre Wedding Muslim Ritual

Mehndi ceremony is a joyous pre wedding Muslim ritual that takes place at the bride’s residence a day before wedding. Female relatives of the bride apply turmeric paste all over her body. The purpose is to lend glow to her skin. A professional or a relative applies Mehndi on the bride’s hands and feet. It is accompanied by sangeet session; in which women sing traditional songs. Thereafter, the bride is given a set of sober clothing to wear.
