The Punjabi Mayian (maa'nyo'n) Ceremony

MARICI is inspired by the vast history of turmeric use in beauty and culture. Today after its long journey from India through Arabia, Europe and the West, traditional remedies, rituals and beliefs have not been forgotten. Indians around the world still practice many of the rituals passed from our ancestors and from generation to generation we still use them today.

MARICI Turmeric Multi Balm is a modern more accessible product that is inspired by the Punjabi rituals of the ‘mayian ceremony’ This traditional custom consists of a paste made from gram flour, mustard oil and turmeric powder, applied all over the face and body of a bride or groom, left to dry overnight then washed off in the morning in preparation for their wedding day, promoting glowing radiant skin!
