Haldi
Turmeric on skin, water fights nobody planned, and a whole family conspiring to stain your best clothes. Wear something you have already forgiven.
November 21 ยท Uday Residency ยท Rudrapur
until the Anand Karaj begins
We are getting married — and a wedding is only as bright as the people in the room. Come eat too much, dance badly, and see us begin.
Turmeric on skin, water fights nobody planned, and a whole family conspiring to stain your best clothes. Wear something you have already forgiven.
The lamps come on and two families formally decide to put up with each other forever. Sweets are exchanged, blessings given, and the dancing starts earlier than anyone admits.
Four laavan around the Guru Granth Sahib, and every person we love in one room. This is the one we will be asking you about for the next forty years, so please be in the photographs.
Please cover your head and remove your shoes in the darbar hall. Scarves will be there if you need one.
Rudrapur sits at the foot of the Kumaon hills, about 250 km from Delhi. Whichever way you come, tell us your arrival time and we will send someone.
The closest airport โ roughly a 30-minute drive to the venue. Flights run via Delhi and Dehradun. Delhi (DEL) is the reliable fallback, then train or car.
Lalkuan and Kathgodam are the bigger junctions nearby if you cannot find a seat. Overnight trains from Delhi and Lucknow get you in by morning.
NH-9 via Moradabad and Rampur, then on to Rudrapur. An easy drive, and the best one if you are coming as a group.
