| 3:00 PM onwards | Mehendi (meh-HEN-dee) | Intricate henna designs are applied to the hands of the bride and guests, a colourful, social afternoon. Henna artists will be on hand, so everyone can get hennaed if they’d like. The henna is said to symbolise love, beauty and the bond between the couple, and its deep colour is a blessing for the days ahead. |
| 6:00 – 7:00 PM | Mayra (MY-ruh) | The bride’s maternal uncle (mama) and his family arrive bearing gifts and blessings. This is one of the most emotional rituals of the wedding, symbolising the maternal side’s blessing as she begins this new journey. It’s a moment of deep family warmth before the main ceremonies begin. |
| 7:00 PM | Dinner | Dinner will start around this time. If you’re an early supper person, please let us know in advance so we can make arrangements accordingly. |

| 10:00 AM | Haldi (HUL-dee) | A turmeric paste is applied to the bride and groom before the wedding, so expect bright yellow and plenty of laughter. Turmeric is believed to purify, bless and bring a natural glow to the couple before marriage, and is considered auspicious protection as they begin this new chapter. |
| 12:00 – 2:00 PM | Lunch | A relaxed lunch is served for all guests. |
| 2:00 PM onwards | Free Time | Time to relax and freshen up before the baraat begins. |

| 4:30 PM | Baraat (buh-RAAT) | The groom arrives in a festive procession, joined by family and friends dancing through to the venue, and the bride’s family welcomes the groom and his baraatis (procession guests) at the entrance. The Baraat marks the joining of both families, often with garlands and rituals of welcome. |
| 5:00 PM | Phera (FEH-ra) | The couple takes seven rounds around a sacred fire. The Phera is the heart of the ceremony, each round representing a vow for their married life together. |
| 7:30 PM | Ring & Vows Exchange | Sonali and Thomas exchange rings and personal vows, just before the reception. An intimate moment bridging the Hindu ceremony and the Western tradition. |
| 8:00 PM | Dinner | Dinner will start, served buffet-style. |
