The paste is applied with mango leaves by relatives of the couple to five specific body parts: the face/neck, arms, hands, knees, and feet. The bride and groom wear a traditional sari and kurta pajama respectively even though the Haldi can create quite a mess. While the ceremony is going on family members gather around to sing traditional songs about the ritual. Members of the family take turns placing a small amount of Haldi on the Bride and Groom offering their blessings while also cleansing the couple simultaneously.

It is customary in certain parts of India for the couple to apply a small portion of the Haldi paste onto their unmarried friends and siblings in jest. Due to the powerful properties that the powder possesses, it is said that whoever gets touched by this paste is soon to find a good-looking partner. Family members of the Bride and Groom wash off the Haldi which reveals a natural glow and purification for the couple. Our event management service also includes turmeric spreading services as well.
