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.

Ultimately, this celebration is about wishing the bride well and blessing the soon-to-be newlyweds. As a guest, you may be asked to rehearse and participate in a choreographed dance. You can also opt to have your own henna done at this celebration in anticipation of the big day.
