Vatna/Haldi: Four lamps or "diyas" are lit and the bride sits facing them. Oil is constantly poured into the lamps, so that the glow from the diyas is reflected on her face. "Vatna" involves applying a paste made from turmeric powder and mustard oil all over the bride's body by her female friends and relatives. This is done to make the bride look more beautiful on the most special day of her life. This ritual demands that the bride stay at home in her old clothes for a couple of days before her wedding. "Ubtan" is supposed to bring a glow to the bride's and groom's body, especially on their faces. This tradition is also known as "Shaint" in some cultures. After this ritual, the bride and groom are constrained from meeting each other until the wedding ceremony.
