This is my participation posts for Culture Photography contest by @janemorane

When I was thinking about the culture I got many points because in Pakistan we have very unique culture of different nations . Like festivals dressess and functions .

Today I am writing about The marriage function and it consists many steps like ubtan , mehndi ,Nikaah , Baraat and valima

The first ceremony in pakistan when the wedding function begins with Ubtan ceremony 🎑 Its a ceremony where we put turmeric on the Face, Hands, Arms, and Feets of the bride and the groom. We believe that turmeric is a tradicional face mask who take out the inside beauty this ceremony in not mandatory but, many girls and boys like that so they celebrate this ceremony too....

After 2 or 4 days depending on the family who likes after 4 days or 8 days .... Its not conform, they celebrate this ceremony, in which the friends and family members of the bride play a drum, like the pictures and sing different songs and dance on the songs and have fun...

After 4 or 6 days there is an other ceremony this dependid too on the families. In this ceremony the bride wear a yellow dress, like the picture ...

We put musturd oil on the head of the bride, because we believe that musturd oil finish bad feelings and bad things of the person...

We decoration the house or ceremony hall with different flowers . We design with henna the hands of the bride, henna is a traditional things that we do on accessions....
