Mauritius: Indo-Mauritian Hindu Wedding

Step inside an Indo-Mauritian wedding from 13–15 Nov! Experience Sangeet, Mehendi, Haldi, sacred vows and local food, with an optional Monday reception.
Step beyond Mauritius's beaches and join a bride's family for an authentic Indo-Mauritian Hindu wedding celebration. This is a genuine family occasion, offering a warm opportunity to experience wedding customs, music, dancing, food, and hospitality as an invited guest.

Before the Celebration – Dress for the Occasion

We'll recommend local shops for traditional outfits such as sarees, lehengas, salwar suits and kurtas. Once you've purchased your clothing, enjoy a complimentary makeup session with our artist and assistance dressing traditionally. Clothing purchases are at your expense.

Friday 13 November | 6:30 PM–Midnight: Sangeet & Mehendi

Enjoy traditional wedding songs led by women, dancing and lively performances, including male dancers dressed in women's attire. Discover Mehendi (henna), associated with beauty, joy and good fortune, and the Bhojpuri song traditions passed down through generations. Taste pani puri, a traditional three-curry meal and snacks as music and dancing continue until midnight. Sangeet brings loved ones together through laughter, blessings and song.

Saturday 14 November | From 6:30 PM: Haldi Vidhi

Witness the turmeric ceremony, when loved ones ceremonially apply haldi to the bride. The ritual symbolises purification, blessings and an auspicious new beginning. Enjoy live singing and music, followed by a traditional Mauritian seven-curry meal.
This is one of the most important events in an Indian wedding.

Sunday 15 November | From 1:00 PM: The Wedding

This is a bride-side wedding: the festivities are hosted by the bride's family, and the groom arrives on Sunday for the marriage ceremony. Witness the couple take seven sacred rounds around the ceremonial fire (Saat Phere), representing vows of love, loyalty and shared life.

Celebrate with the family and savour wedding biryani. Meals and evening hospitality are included on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Optional Monday 16 November | From 12:00 PM: Chawtaree Reception

Continue the festivities at the post-wedding gathering, locally known as Chawtaree. Enjoy a buffet, live music, a cocktail party and alcoholic beverages. This optional fourth day costs US$50 extra per person.
