Ghee Pilai/Varna
Ghee Pilai (literal translation is drink butter - yum!) was a fun tradition in which members of his family fed him tiny amounts of Ghee. During Varna, Vivek’s family members applied Mehndi (Henna) on their hands and feet, while hanging out and enjoying quality time with each other.
Peethi
One of the most fun traditions that both families celebrated separately, was Peethi (Haldi). Both of us were covered with Turmeric (Haldi) as the family members blessed them before their big day.
Bateesi/Maayra
Bateesi is the ceremony where Vivek's Mom invited her parents, siblings, and extended family to the wedding. This was followed by the Maayra ceremony, at which Vivek's Maternal Grandparents and Uncle distributed gifts to all the family members.
