We will be hosting a small, intimate gathering for close family members, called a Pellikuthuru Ceremony.

What is Pellikuthuru?

Translated as "the bride's festival," it is a pre-wedding celebration in honor of the bride to be.

In this ceremony, all the relatives and well-wishers gather and smear Nalugu- a mixture of turmeric, flour and oils, on the bride/ groom. This is done to cleanse their skin, so that it radiates a natural glow after they bathe.

There will also be mehendi or "henna" for all women, and dancing "Sangeet" to start of the weekend festivities.
