Significance of the Haldi ceremony: In Hindu religion, many types of rituals are performed before and after marriage. One of these rituals is that of turmeric. After this ritual, the bride and groom are prohibited from leaving the house.
Even today, this ritual is performed with devotion during marriage in many homes. There are both religious and scientific reasons behind this. Let us know why this tradition is followed?
Importance of Haldi ritual in marriage
Turmeric is considered very important in Hindu culture. It is not only a spice, but is also considered very beneficial from Ayurveda point of view. Turmeric is not only used in wedding to enhance beauty, it is also considered an auspicious sign of wedding preparations. Applying turmeric removes negative energy and calms the mind.
Turmeric is a symbol of auspiciousness and protection
If seen from a religious perspective, after applying turmeric, its fragrance attracts both positive and negative energies around our body. After applying turmeric on the body, our body becomes very energetic.
In such a situation, if you go out of the house after applying turmeric and come in contact with any kind of negative or inauspicious energy, then its inauspicious effect can be seen on the marriage.
For this reason, the bride and groom are not allowed to go out of the house after applying turmeric, so that their positive energy remains intact and there are no obstacles of any kind in the marriage.
According to astrology, the fragrance of turmeric is associated with planets like Rahu and Ketu. If you go out of the house after the Haldi ceremony at a wedding, the influence of these planets may increase, due to which you may suffer from mental problems. For this reason, the bride and groom are advised to stay at home after applying turmeric.
Scientific reason for turmeric
The scientific reason behind this ritual in marriage is that turmeric is a natural antiseptic which penetrates deep into the skin. After applying turmeric the skin becomes very sensitive. During this period, exposure to sunlight may cause irritation or darkening.
For this reason, in olden times people used to say that one should avoid going out after applying turmeric, so that the glow and beauty remains and there is no risk of any kind of allergy.
Applying turmeric on the body opens the pores of the upper layer and cleans the skin, on which dirt and dust can easily accumulate. For this reason, the bride and groom are prohibited from going out after the Haldi ceremony at a wedding.
Social aspect of Haldi ceremony
According to the social aspect of Haldi ceremony, the bride and groom are advised to stay at home after this ceremony, so that they can enjoy this time with their family and relatives. This moment is considered a symbol of family bond and unity for married couples.
During this time, all the people of the house, relatives and especially women enjoy the song along with applying turmeric to the bride and groom. For this reason, this turmeric ritual is considered special from all three points of view, religious, scientific and social.
