About Haldi Kumkum
The haldi is kept in both households on the day or two before a wedding: turmeric paste with sandal and oil is applied by married women of the family, beginning with the mother, and the couple does not leave the house afterwards until the wedding.
It is the most social of the wedding rites and the least formal — the songs are the women's, not the pandit's, and the pandit's part is the short puja that opens it and the sankalp that names the couple. An hour and a half, at home, and the clothes worn for it are expected to be ruined.
Keeping a rite in Deoghar
Deoghar's calendar is dominated by Shravan. Through that month the town belongs to the kanwar pilgrimage, the temple queues run day and night, and local pandits are committed to it; domestic bookings move to the months either side as a matter of routine.
Outside the season it is a small town where most rites are kept at home and the temple visit is a separate errand. Mundan and the first-hair rites are commonly kept at Baidyanath, which is a booking that has to be planned around the queue rather than around the muhurat alone.
