Image Description : A Roce (or Ros as it’s otherwise spelt) is a traditional Mangalorean Catholic ceremony whereby the bride and groom are annointed with a mixture of coconut milk and oil (the roce), and then blessed. This often takes place on the evening before the wedding. The literal translation of the word Roce (also spelled as Ros) is juice. The freshly squeezed coconut milk is an integral part of the roce ceremony. This ceremony is equivalent to the Haldi Ceremony in the Hindu community. The ceremony is held a day or two prior to the wedding day. The idea to submit this picture is that, this will not fit the idea of Indian wedding, where as it just is.
