And Mehndi celebrates with intricate henna designs on the bride’s hands and feet, symbolizing love and prosperity. Family and friends sing, dance, share laughter, and offer good wishes, marking joyful beginnings before the wedding. Music, colors, rituals, and emotions fill the day with warmth and tradition.

In reception ceremony, the couple hosts family and friends as newlyweds, featuring food, music, dancing, toasts, and socializing, differing from the more formal, ritualistic ceremony by focusing on fun, connection, and announcing the union to the community. Key elements often include a formal entrance, dinner, speeches, and dancing, acting as the "spirit" of the wedding celebration. It's the first public gathering of the couple after getting married.
