South Indian & Bengali Ceremony
Jan 28
2023
Description
The ritual, called a Haldi ceremony (Haldi means turmeric in Hindi), is a traditional Indian pre-wedding event, believed to bestow blessings upon the married couple. A traditional South Indian lunch will be provided after.
Mehndi & Sangeet
Please join us for a night of mehndi, dancing, & entertainment! Mehndi or henna is an ancient form of body art, originating in India and across South Asia and the Middle East. A Mehndi party is the pre-wedding celebration in Hindu culture when the bride has the red-orange mehndi "stain" applied to her palms, back of hands, and feet. We will be providing a mehndi station for ladies to get their mehndi done, while the rest of the guests enjoy the entertainment by family & friends.
YUCATECO REGIONAL RESTAURANT in the FIESTA AMERICANA
We are providing breakfast for ALL guests on Saturday between 8 - 10AM. For those staying in hotels outside of the Fiesta Americana, it will be a 3 to 5 min walk to reach the Fiesta Americana. We have a private room booked in a restaurant called Yucateco Regional for wedding guests only. It is located in the lobby of the Fiesta Americana Hotel.
Description
The couple will be getting married in a traditional South Indian ceremony since both of the families come from the state of Andhra Pradesh in India. This will be followed by a Bengali ceremony to honor Rishabh’s paternal side of the family.
Dress Code
Please wear Indian formal or western formal attire. Be sure to wear something comfortable that you can dance in since the ceremony will be leading up to the cocktail party & reception! There will barely be time to change outfits in-between unless you are part of the wedding party. However, we will be providing a storage area in case you would like to change in-between events to something you can dance in!
