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 Muzaffarpur
Muzaffarpur sits on the Maithili–Bajjika boundary, and its rites follow Mithila's karmakanda more often than the generic north Indian one. The differences show at a wedding and at a shraddh — which day carries which rite, and what is offered — and they are worth naming when the booking is made.
The town is dense in the middle and open at the edges, so an address near the Company Bagh and one on the Muzaffarpur–Sitamarhi road are very different journeys. Shravan takes the local Shiva bookings to Baba Garibnath and the queue with them.
