We have a ritual of purifying the skin through family and friends applying a turmeric paste to the bride and groom. The paste has anti-inflammatory properties so is said to cleanse the skin, the Hindu version of a pre-wedding facial! Followed by the Mehndi night where guests can get their henna done, henna is said to symbolise prosperity and good luck.
