|. Chap 15: Haldi

The Haldi ceremony is one of the most loved pre-wedding rituals of Hindu weddings in India where the bride and the groom are smeared with turmeric paste. It signifies the start of the Hindu wedding rituals.

The haldi is superstitiously known to keep evil charms at bay. Indian Vedas and traditions place a great deal of importance on the concept of the evil eye, and it's believed that the Haldi paste protects the bride and the groom from any bad omen before the wedding date.

According to the veda , the haldi cleanses and purifies the mind, body and soul. The ceremony signifies an auspicious start for the bride and groom where it purifies their heart and soul before entering into holy matrimony. It marks the beginning of new life together
