The ceremony of applying henna, in intricate designs, to the bride's hands and feet. Henna designs hold symbolic meaning, representing blessings, luck, love, and fertility. The darker the henna stain, the stronger the love between the couple.

It is the ceremonial welcome of the groom and his family and friends (the "baraat") by the bride's family at the wedding venue. It's a grand and festive event that marks the start of the wedding day and is often accompanied by rituals, and traditional music and dance.

The couple walks around the sacred fire seven times, with each round representing a sacred vow. Each circumambulation is associated with a specific prayer or vow, such as asking for nourishment, health, prosperity, and fidelity. The fire (Agni) is considered a witness to the marriage, and the circumambulation signifies the couple's commitment to each other. The pheras mark the formalization of the marriage and symbolize the couple's commitment to each other.

A celebration where the bride and groom's families gather to sing, dance, and celebrate. A lively event with music, performances, and festivities.
