A couple days before the wedding, the bride and groom each
organize a pithi ceremony (also known as a haldi ceremony) at their respected
homes. From this point until the time of the wedding, the couple should not see
each nor should they leave the house. The paste serves as a cleanser for the
body and soul and signifies the bride’s preparation and welcoming into adult
married life. The haldi in some Indian communities also signifies protection,
hence why the couple cannot leave the house after the ceremony.
