India is culturally so varied that there different way in which it is done. This post is about how a hindu rajasthani wedding takes place.It is 2/3 days long affair,with almost 2 separate functions each day. All the functions are celebrated at both bride’s and groom’s place .
Family,extended family,cousins,friends all gear up for the big day and rituals begin with worshipping Lord Ganesha ,which is supposed to believe any hurdles if it might come through.
In the evening,bride and bridesmaid get ready to adorn beautifully patterned henna “Mehndi” on their hands and feet. Its again a 4-5 hours long event where everyone wears green coloured beautiful clothes to match colour of heena. Bride wears soft floral jewellery for the occasion.
Next day early morning begins with Haldi function,where all family,relatives cousins apply turmeric paste “haldi” to bride and groom so they get extra glow and are ready for the big day. While some people apply haldi to bride and groom others enjoy song dance and various fun activites.
