She was about to disappear in the doorway when I saw the red of her dress flare in the corner of my eyes and I flashed up the camera. Fortunately, she noticed and not only was she flattered, she came back out to pose and present her beauty!

In order to clean the bride and prepare her for the wedding (spiritually and physically), her skin is first covered in this yellow mix of oil and turmeric powder. The anti-septic paste is applied by the women of her family and cleans her skin.
