In the morning, the Haldi: the turmeric paste that blesses the couple. At night, the Sangeet, with family choreographies, a DJ and dhol.
- Day 3Baraat, ceremony and reception
The groom arrives with dhol, the Varmala, the mandap ceremony led by the pandit at the muhurat, pheras around the sacred fire, Sindoor and Mangalsutra. Reception at night.
