The gaye holud (Bengali: গায়ে হলুদ, lit. 'yellow/turmeric on the body') or gatro-horidra (গাত্র-হরিদ্রা) is a wedding ceremony observed by the Bengalis that involves turmeric added in the bodies of the bride and the groom. The ceremony, rooted in the ancient Vedic religion, is well observed among both Bengali Muslims and Hindus, though religious significance is held by the latter.
