We found a place to have brunch in a trendy neighbourhood called Hauz Khas. Quite a different vibe to the old Delhi and the bustling markets. There were cafes, art galleries, night spots and shops to hang out in. The best part however, was accidentally discovering a fort from the 1300's originally built as a tank for water, and which later became a theological college and now is a tomb holding the remains of the founder. This was the second of the old cities of medieval Delhi.
Today, the area seems to be a hang out place for young lovers... ;)
Once late afternoon rolled around, it was time for Day 2 of the wedding festivities.
Sangeet and Mehndi night is all about the ladies, dancing and getting their henna applied.
The men are very much an accessory for the night, although it didn't stop them crashing the living room dance floor.
There were a couple of henna artists at the party, and ladies were getting their henna on throughout the night.
The night finished with another ritual which involved the bride and the groom as well as their closest family members being blessed with fruit (in fact fruit seems to feature heavily in lots of nuptial proceedings).
