Haldi ceremony songs: fun, folk-flavoured Bollywood songs

Few Hindi film songs are about the haldi itself, so most families fill the morning with cheerful songs that have a folk feel and plenty of teasing. These are the ones that suit a turmeric-stained courtyard, from Rajasthani and Punjabi flavoured numbers to the classic in-law songs. Keep the words open in the app, on a phone you don't mind getting yellow.

Since few film songs are written about haldi, we chose lively, folk-flavoured Hindi film songs that are commonly played at haldi ceremonies, ordered by how widely known they are.

Heart these in Bolly Music and the list is ready on the day, with the words on screen.
