If you have already arrived to Stellenbosch by the morning of January 10th, please join us for our Nelengu ceremony at Boschendal. For Hindu weddings, this is always a pre-wedding cleansing and purification ceremony. The ritual brings together both the bride’s and groom’s family and friends.

This event will take place at The Retreat at Boschendal. If you are staying at The Retreat, you will be able to walk over! If you are staying at the other cottages located elsewhere on the property, we will have shuttles to take you to The Retreat, with pick ups starting at 9:00 AM.

DRESSY CASUAL / INDIAN CASUAL ATTIRE

While this is a traditional ceremony, we welcome our guests to embrace either Indian or western cultures in their attire for this morning occasion! It will be a warm summer morning, so feel free to wear linen or breezy fabrics. Some guests might be in sarees or kurtas, and some might be in short-sleeve linen button ups or summer dresses or sets. Whatever you choose, we look forward to seeing your beautiful faces nice and early! ;)
