Welcome Party

We’re bringing together Haldi and Mehendi into one celebration. Haldi is a pre-wedding ritual where close family and friends apply turmeric as a blessing for protection and good fortune. Mehendi follows, with intricate henna designs on hands and feet, music in the background, and everyone settling into the weekend. 

Rooted in Indian tradition and shaped by our life together, this event is where two families, two histories, and two cultures meet in one place.

Schedule

11:45 am Haldi ritual and Mehendi (Henna) begins

12:00 pm Brunch

Sangeet

Rooted in Indian tradition, the Sangeet is an evening of music, dance, and celebration where families and friends come together before the wedding day. For us it is especially meaningful as we bring together two cultures, two families, and the people we love most for a night of performances, cocktails, dinner, and dancing in Lake Como.

Schedule

8:30 PM Sangeet Dances Begin

Wedding Day Celebration

We invite you to join us for our wedding day in Lake Como, where we will honor both of our heritages through a fusion of traditions at a historic lakeside villa.

Hindu Ceremony
The day begins with the Baraat procession, as the groom arrives surrounded by music, dancing, and celebration, leading into our traditional Hindu ceremony beneath a lakeside mandap. There, we will take part in sacred rituals and blessings alongside our families.

Christian Ceremony
After time to relax and enjoy the villa and its lake views, we will gather again at sunset for our Christian ceremony, an exchange of vows in an elegant outdoor setting overlooking the water.

Reception
The evening continues with cocktails on the terrace, followed by a seated dinner, toasts, and dancing as we celebrate bringing together two traditions, and becoming one family.

SCHEDULE

Morning: Baraat Arrival & Hindu Wedding Ceremony
Afternoon: Lunch, relaxation and light refreshments.
Evening: Christian Wedding Ceremony at sunset, followed by Cocktails, Dinner Reception, and Dancing into the night.

DRESS CODE

Traditional Indian attire in vibrant hues is encouraged.
