Chooda Pooja

Dress Code: Smart Casual or Indian Traditional

Pro tip: Since this is right after the Haldi ceremony, wear to this what you plan to wear to the Haldi function. People tend to wear yellow to the Haldi function, to match the color of turmeric

Traditionally, a set of 21 bangles (aka chooda) in red/maroon and white/ivory is selected for this ceremony by the bride’s maternal uncle (mama) and aunt (mami). They gift the chooda to the bride during the ceremony. The bangles are first purified with milk and rose petals. Before the bangles are worn by the bride, all close family members touch the bangles as a mark of their blessings.
