Raag & Shringarika

The Haldi Ceremony

Raag & Shringarika’s Haldi was a riot of sunshine and turmeric, as their loved ones applied the golden mixture to bless them with prosperity, protection from evil, and that radiant wedding glow. What started as a sacred ritual quickly turned into a lighthearted affair, with loved ones playfully smearing turmeric on each other. By the end, no one left the ceremony completely clean, but that was all part of the fun!

The Mehendi Ceremony

The Mehendi ceremony was an ode to intricate artistry and deep traditions. Shringarika’s hands were adorned with elaborate henna patterns, from her fingertips to her arms. Somewhere within those elegant swirls, Raag’s name was cleverly hidden. It’s a tradition that adds an element of playful anticipation. Meanwhile, guests got their own hands decorated, all while indulging in sweets, music, and lighthearted banter. It was an evening of patience (henna takes time to dry, after all) and excitement as the wedding day inched closer.

The Sangeet Celebration

The Sangeet was a full-blown production! Families and friends took to the stage, bringing dazzling performances, choreographed performances, and a sprinkle of friendly competition. Raag & Shringarika, of course, stole the show with their electrifying performance, proving that love is best expressed in dance. The energy was infectious, the beats irresistible, and by the end of the night, everyone left with sore feet!
