'Pithi' is one of the many rituals practiced during Hindu weddings. This particular ritual is performed before the wedding day and it consists of besmearing the bride/groom (each in their respective homes), with paste made out of turmeric root, chickpea flour, rose water, and oil. The closest family members and friends take part in this very joyful and good-humored ritual while the bride/groom sit quietly and bear it all with a nice big smile.
