The overall effect was one of manifold happiness, which was expressed by the guests who attended the Mehendi celebrations.

The Colours of Haldi: A Celebration of Yellows

The Haldi ceremony, a time-honored tradition symbolizing purity, blessings and cleansing, was perfectly scheduled in an outdoor setting, adjacent to the Pelican Deck, at the Sheraton Grand Chennai. The expansive lawns, dotted with swaying palm trees and vibrant flower beds, and the bay of Bengal further down, provided a refreshing backdrop for this joyous occasion.

A kaleidoscope of colors, with dominant yellows, greeted us as we entered the Haldi venue.
