Mehendi
10:00 am
Traditional Indian with shades of yellow, orange or green
The Mehndi Ceremony is one of the more casual days where bright colors are highly encouraged. The Mehndi is usually the kick-off for the wedding festivities where the bride and the female guests have Mehndi (henna) applied to their hands. We will have artists to apply mehndi for all the ladies! The mehndi signifies love and affection between the couple and their families. Traditionally it is believed that the darker the mehndi comes out on the bride's hands, the deeper the love will be between the bride and groom. That is why no one will let the bride wash it off and make sure she sleeps with it, the longer she has it on, the darker it gets! There will be drinks and light lunch!
Let’s see some parts of Bali!
2:00 pm
After colorful Mehndi and lunch, we have organized a guided tour for our guests so that they can check out this beautiful island. It’s totally optional!!

Join us in the grand Ballroom, where we bring Gujarati and Marwadi cultures together through music and dance.
