What is Mylanchi Ideel?

 

Mylanchi Ideel is the beautification of the bride, a ceremony which takes by smearing of henna on the bride’s palms and feet. In this Knanaya wedding ceremony, first a ‘pulpaya’ (mat) is placed on the stage to symbolize the creation of the stage and in turn the relationship. Next, three wooden stools are placed on the ‘pulpaya’, one of which is used to place the mylanchi, second one for the bride and the third stool is for the bride’s ‘avakashi’ or parental relative who helps with the application of henna.
