Years back I still remember when I was in school, I happened to attend a Hyderabadi wedding…which happened to be my mom’s cousins….my mama’s….and it was for the first time I am attending a Hyderabadi wedding…I was very much excited and I can see my mom more exited than me to attend four day wedding fare….meeting all her cousins, friends and relatives….though we had attended Hyderabadi weddings before….this one is special because we are going to stay there for four days all for Mehendi , Haldi, Shaadi (Wedding) and Valima (Reception). Mehendi and Haldi are much like Sangeet in North Indian weddings…Pre wedding ceremony….mehendi, henna – Indian Tattoo is applied on bridal hands and feet and also applied by all the relatives present at home…
