selectvenue India is a land of innumerous traditions, cultures, customs and rituals. The wedding season is on, weddings in India is a long process same as cooking a curry, it includes number of rituals, customs, dance, music, decorations, lots of tasty food and beautiful and handsome people around. This is no less than a festival. These rituals and customs were designed by our ancestors years back, some consider them as superstitious and meaningless.
As we all know ”मेहँदी लगा के रखना डोली सजा के रखना लेने तुझे ओ गोरी आएंगे तेरे सजना” so now its compulsory to apply mehendi because wedding days are hectic and busy thus mehndi ceremonies are organized, as mehndi i.e. henna leaves has anti virus and anti fungal properties that helps to cool down the body and mind and helps to beat stress and workload. On Haldi ceremonies turmeric paste is applies on face of bride and groom as haldi purifies and cleans the body, this paste includes besan too which makes the skin glow.
Mangalsutra and dash of sindoor on forehead of bride is the sign of married women, because सुहागन के सर का ताज होता है एक चुटकी सिंदूर Mangalsutra is made up of gold and black beads. Gold increases immunity and helps in blood circulation and black beads protect us from negative energies.
Our ancestors applied very smart logic behind the rituals and customs and for sure they are not meaningless. Many more rituals exists in India which carry a smart logic behind them. So before you declare any ritual being practiced for long superstitious do research about it.
