It’s finally the day of the wedding,
With the couple pledging to be together.
O Turmeric! They first seek your blessing.
Yours is the most auspicious color.
Amidst the song, dance, and celebration,
You protect them from evil spirits.
Paving the way for a life of prosperity.
You give them the gift of purification,
And their complexion reflects your glitz.
As you take away the tension and anxiety.
As families unite for the beginning,
Of Fortune, you are the harbinger.
The color they wear needs no guessing,
As for them all, you are an icebreaker.
A secret for natural beautification,
Adding oil and milk increases your gifts.
To quell depression, you have the ability.
No chemicals are added for preparation,
And you rid all of artificial cosmetics,
With you, good health becomes a reality.
O Turmeric! Your virtues are unending!
Grace us with your presence forever!
Technology may keep progressing,
But you are a friend in every weather.
From generation to generation,
You’re the reason for stories and myths,
And for increased memory and immunity.
You have been a part of our tradition
As the world battles to own your secrets,
You will be in our kitchens for posterity.
