Part 3 – Love, Rituals, and Blessings: Deep’s Maiyan & Choora + Gurpreet’s Maiyan

The Maiyan and Choora ceremonies are beautiful pre-wedding rituals in Sikh culture, filled with symbolism, blessings, and heartfelt moments. For Deep and Gurpreet, these traditions unfolded throughout a meaningful day.

The morning began with Gurpreet’s Maiyan, where turmeric paste was applied to his skin as a blessing for good luck and prosperity. Surrounded by family and friends, this ritual was a joyful moment to prepare the groom for his big day.

In the afternoon, it was Deep’s turn for the Maiyan ceremony. Her family lovingly applied turmeric paste as they shared laughter and blessings, wishing her a radiant and happy married life. The day continued with her Choora ceremony, where she was adorned with a set of red and white bangles gifted by her maternal family. These bangles are a meaningful symbol of good fortune and joy in marriage.

These ceremonies weren’t just about tradition—they were about connection, love, and the excitement of the days ahead. Together, they set the perfect tone for Deep and Gurpreet’s wedding celebrations.
