The Vibrant Colors and Music of Manisha's Maticoor Night in Trinidad

The Vibrant Colors and Music of Manisha's Maticoor Night in Trinidad
The traditional Hindu wedding can take place over a three day period the first of which is called Matikor/Maticoor. Maticoor night is an important zone of female empowerment. The almost exclusively female-centered ritual is meant to instruct the Dulahin (bride to be) on sexual matters through humour, dance song and role - play. It was in this zone that Hindu women throughout the centuries found a safe haven where they could express themselves without the prying eyes of men, pass on valuable traditions from mother to daughter and be free to be sensual, ribald and spicy without judgment or censure. This night is composed of three parts, the Maticoor, a ritual performed in an area of clean earth with clear running water, the Saffran/ Saffron, a ceremony where the bride to be is purified and adorned by the youngest female of the gathering and the application of Mehendi, where the Dulahin's hands and feet are adorned with henna to enhance and celebrate her beauty. This night is a time of celebration and togetherness that highlights the importance of family and of the traditions of women.
