Luxury South Asian Wedding

Sangeet Ceremony 

Considered as a women centric event, a Sangeet night ceremony is held at the homes of the couple, where the relatives sing wedding songs while the rest of the relatives and friends dance to its tune. This is a point when both the families forget about the wedding jitters for a while.

Mehendi Ceremony 

Luxury South Asian wedding tradition calls for a Mehendi or henna ceremony, where the bride’s hands and feet are adorned in beautiful henna designs depicting different motifs. To get the Mehendi art done, the bride has to sit for hours with her hands open, and most of her relatives and friends also get the art done, in turns.

Jago Ceremony 

Jago means a steel pot, with candles. Held days before the wedding, the groom’s family will leave for their paternal home with the Jago. To announce their arrival, they boisterously sing songs and concurrently summon the neighbours to join their revelry.

Milni Ceremony 

Better known as Baraat, the groom’s family arrives in a procession to the venue and is welcomed by the bride’s family. This is the symbol of coming together of the two families. The bride’s family lends a shagun to each of the groom’s relatives, starting from the eldest relative.

Wedding Ceremony

The wedding celebrant chants the sacred verses from the scripture of the couple’s religion. In Hindu wedding tradition, both the bride and groom, circles the ceremonial fire for seven times, and this tradition is named as Saptapadi. The bride’s father places his daughter’s hand over the groom’s hand, and this ceremony is known as Kanyadan. This is named as Anand Karaj, in Sikh tradition. The families arrive at the Gurdwara, and the priest recites a set of prayers called ardas. They exchange flower garlands to each other and are thereafter considered as married.
