Pro Tip: The vast diversity of Indian culture means these rituals may vary from region to region-so this presentation focuses on western setting.
Day One: The Ganesh Puja
This is a ceremony that usually occurs at home with the couple, the bridal party, and close relatives. It is common to begin all auspicious ceremonies in the Hindu tradition with a prayer to Lord Ganesh(this god is seen as the remover of obstacles). This ceremony bestows good luck onto the couple and their families, and destroys all obstacles they may face together.
Day Two: The Pithi
Usually performed separately in the bride and groom's own homes, the pithi is a ceremonial ritual that brings good luck. Pithi is a turmeric, rose water and chickpea flour paste that is applied to the bride and groom's skin. This thick yellow paste brightens the skin tone and bestows blessings upon the couple.
