The Pithi ceremony is a traditional part of an Indian wedding ceremony that it usually held a few days before. The actual ‘Pithi’ is a paste made out of chickpea flour, turmeric, rose water and other ingredients. The Pithi ceremony is celebrated on both the bride and groom’s side and it involves rubbing a paste on their face, hands and legs. The paste is believed to make the skin glow. Family members and friends often have fun getting the bride and groom completely covered in the paste!
