Dress code for the Hindu ceremonies


Dress codes for the Haldi and the Muhurtham ceremonies are similar but the Muhurtham is the main event, so save your best for this! Formal Indian-wear would leave you most comfortable to fit in with the locals, however, formal western-wear is also fine. 


  • Formal Western-wear for Women:  Trousers and a Dressy Top; a dress could pass but is uncommon in Hindu Weddings
  • Formal Western-wear for Men: Trousers & a Shirt with / without a Jacket; or Full Suit with no tie (if you like) 
  • Formal Indian-wear for Women: A Salwar Kameez; or Sari & Blouse; or Lehenga & Choli 
  • Formal Indian-wear for Men: A Kurta-Pyjama or Sherwani

Formal Indian-wear for Women:

a) Salwar Kameez
b) Sari & Blouse



c) Lehenga & Choli

Formal Indian-wear for Men
a) Kurta & Pyjama
