Grah Shanti & Pithi

My lovely coworker Vishakha got married a few weeks ago on a beautiful Saturday morning by the beach on the Jersey shore. One of the ceremonies in an Indian wedding is the Pithi ceremony. It is a cleansing ceremony where a paste made of turmeric, rose water and chick pea flour is rubbed on the bride. Its intended purpose is to make the bride glowing and radiant for her wedding day. She was kind enough to let me take a few photos through the day.
