This is a messy, joyous ritual. Turmeric, sandalwood, and rosewater are mixed into a paste. This paste is applied to the face, arms, and legs of both the bride and the groom by married women ("suhagans"). The yellow turmeric represents fertility, purification, and the "glow" of impending union. It is also a natural antiseptic and skin softener—practical ancient science. Traditionally, the groom is not allowed to see the bride after the Haldi until the ceremony.
