Wedding Rituals: Expert Tells Us Why Bride And Groom Should Not Go Outside After Haldi Ceremony

The customs and traditions followed in a Hindu wedding are believed to have a reason and significance behind them. They are established to bring peace and happiness in the married life of the bride and groom.

The Haldi ceremony is supposed to happen before the wedding where the family members and friends apply turmeric to the bride and groom. After this ceremony has been done, the bride and groom are not allowed to leave the house or premises, especially alone. Let us know from the expert, Astrologer Radhakant Vats the reason behind this and its significance.

Religious Belief Behind The Custom

While some believe it to be just a superstition, the reason behind it holds deep meaning and great significance. Turmeric is believed to have a special kind of smell which can attract both negative and positive energies present around the person.

These powers, if entered into a person's body, can have various auspicious and inauspicious effects on their body. While the negative energies don’t affect a person with a strong aura, they can adversely make the person weak if they don’t have one.

The negative effects of bad energies attracted by the smell of turmeric can lead the person to get mentally and physically disturbed. This can also create obstacles in auspicious work and ill effects of Rahu in the marriage.

Scientific Reason Behind The Custom

If a person with turmeric applied on their skin goes out in the sun, this can harm their skin because of sunburns. This blackens the skin and steals the glow.

For either the scientific reason or the religious belief behind the custom, the bride and groom should not go out of the house after the Haldi ceremony. If you liked this story then please share it. To read more such stories, stay connected to HerZindagi.
