8. Aashirvad (The Blessing)

Mehndi:

A vibrant party where the bride’s hands and feet are adorned with intricate henna designs. Tradition holds that a darker stain signifies a stronger bond with the groom.

• The Cry: It is considered auspicious (and cathartic) for the bride and her family to cry during the Vidaai. It shows their deep bond.
