Ravi - East Indian Wedding Rituals

First day starts with mehndi. Ravi is looking for inspiration:
And she finds it:
The mehndi lady is quite talented; she draws her own draft and puts it in henna afterwards:
It's the first time I witness coloring of the mehndi:
It's done for me only, I mean photography purposes, and it looks like this:
Everybody's excited about it:
This was their idea. I'm not sure from what movie is it, but it's got to be an Indian one. Just a wild guess:

They sure are happy to be here:
I've been spotted:
Maiya ceremony is about to begin and Ravi looks like she came to terms with her faith:

It only gets better from there:

The ceremonies are not done yet! I'm partying shooting more today and I'll get back to you with fresh images!
