On the morning of the wedding, friends and family will gather to apply fresh turmeric paste onto the faces and arms of the bride and groom. Turmeric signifies purity and sound health and is prized by Bengalis as a wonder spice. By applying turmeric paste to the couple and to each other, wedding guests share comic moments and cleanse their skin to “glow” for the upcoming wedding.
