The Haldi ceremony is a traditional Indian pre-wedding ritual where a paste made of turmeric (haldi), sandalwood, oil, and sometimes rose water is applied to the bride and groom.

Baraat Nikasi is the ceremonial departure of the groom from his home to the wedding venue. The groom leaves with his baraat—family, friends, music, and dancing—to go and marry the bride.
