South Asian, marigold toran and jaali, many events

Marigold Mandap

South Asian American weddings with several events over two or three days: mehndi, haldi, sangeet, baraat, the ceremony and the reception, and fusion and interfaith weddings that keep some of them.

$99 launch price, once. See it with your names before you pay.

The opening: “Pull the garland”

A doorway in a jaali wall, hung with a curtain of marigold strands. Guests pull the garland down: the strands part to the sides, a few petals fall and your names rise in the doorway.

Every opening has a button and keyboard alternative and a Skip link. Guests who prefer reduced motion get a short crossfade instead.

The music

A sitar tune and a bansuri-like flute over a harmonium, a tanpura-style drone and a dholak groove with claps, in a 90-second loop. Original, composed for Honored. It starts only after the guest opens the invitation, and can be muted on every screen.

Layout

Your photo in a screened arch window under a marigold toran, a countdown on four flowers, and the schedule as one pavilion per event in its own color: haldi yellow, mehndi green, sangeet magenta.
