Haldi Kumkum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Haldi Kumkum festival is a get-together organised by Indian (particularly women from Maharastra) women for women. Married women invite friends, relatives and new acquaintances to meet in an atmosphere of merriment and fun. On such occasions, the hostess distributes bangles, sweets, small novelties, flowers, betel leaves and nuts as well as coconuts. The snacks include Kairiche Panhe (raw mango juice) and Vatli Dal.
