Haldi rasam, tel-baan or manjha is a pre-wedding ceremony performed a day or two before the wedding. Family members and friends playfully slather the bride and groom in a paste of turmeric, oil, and milk. In some customs, sandalwood, rose water, and gram flour are also mixed in the paste. The atmosphere is fun, lively, and filled with camaraderie. Wedding Haldi Ceremony Significance It is believed that haldi rasam is done in order to prevent evil spirits from harming the to-be-wed couple. As a result, the bride and groom are typically not allowed to leave their home after the haldi ceremony until their wedding mahurat.

The couple, who are beginning their new life together, is blessed with prosperity thanks to the good fortune of this element and its colour. For this reason, the groom and bride wear yellow attire for their wedding haldi ceremony. When cosmetic beauty treatments and salons were not common in the past, Indians relied on their own natural beauty secrets to make sure a couple looks stunning on their wedding day.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Haldi ceremony is a pre-wedding ritual in South Asian weddings where a turmeric (haldi) paste is applied to the bride and groom to bring a natural glow and ward off evil. Since this ceremony involves turmeric, water, and playful moments, makeup needs to be lightweight, fresh, and long-lasting to withstand the event while enhancing natural beauty.
Haldi makeup is usually minimal and fresh, focusing on glowing skin and soft features. A full-coverage look isn’t necessary because the Haldi paste itself gives a natural glow. Instead, a dewy, no-makeup look works best, using BB cream or light foundation, waterproof mascara, and tinted lips.
Since turmeric can stain and dry out the skin, moisturizing and priming are essential. Start with a hydrating moisturizer and apply a barrier cream or oil (like coconut or aloe vera gel) to prevent Haldi from staining the skin. This makes it easier to wash off later.
Since Haldi is a daytime, fun-filled event, eye makeup should be soft and simple. A touch of gold or champagne shimmer, a thin eyeliner, and waterproof mascara are enough to define the eyes. Avoid dark smokey eyes or heavy kajal, as they might smudge due to the water and Haldi application.
Since Haldi ceremonies often feature yellow, orange, or floral outfits, warm lip shades like coral, peach, soft pink, or glossy nudes work best. Matte lipsticks stay longer, but a hydrating lip tint or gloss can give a fresh and natural vibe. Avoid deep reds or dark browns, as they might look too heavy for a morning function.
Since Haldi ceremonies involve water splashes and turmeric application, use waterproof and sweat-proof products. Apply a good setting spray, and avoid too much powder, as it can make the face look dry when mixed with Haldi.
Yes! Many brides and guests wear floral or gota jewelry to complement the soft, fresh makeup look. These pieces enhance the beauty of a minimal Haldi outfit.
Yes, but subtly. If you’re wearing yellow or orange, go for warm-toned makeup with peachy blush and golden highlights. If your outfit has floral elements, a soft pink or coral touch can complement it beautifully.
Since Haldi can get messy, braided buns, loose curls, or simple ponytails are practical choices. Many brides add floral hair accessories for a soft and traditional touch.
