हल्दी रस्म
The rite
Haldi is the turmeric ceremony before a North Indian wedding when relatives apply haldi paste to bride and groom in separate or joint gatherings, with song and protective mantra. Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma opens with a short puja and explains order so stains do not ruin the wrong sari before the wedding day.
Time at the house: About 1 to 1.5 hours for puja portion
Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma performs this as a home visit in Bengaluru. Share your area and preferred slot on WhatsApp; the samagri list is sent before the day. This page does not list fees or promise worldly results.
