Maiyan & Chooda
The Mayian ceremony, also known as Haldi, is a vibrant pre-wedding ritual in where a turmeric paste is applied to the bride and groom, symbolising purity and good luck.
A Chooda ceremony is a traditional Punjabi pre-wedding ritual. It involves the bride’s uncles (Mamajis) and aunts (Mamijis) placing a set of bangles on her wrists. The chooda symbolises prosperity, good luck, and a happy marriage.
It’s an emotional and joyous occasion, often marked by blessings from family members.
The groom is traditionally not present at the Chooda ceremony; however, we welcome his friends and family to witness this beautiful occasion. We kindly ask that anyone attending refrains from drinking alcohol beforehand.
Sangeet & Jaggo
The Sangeet is a night of music, dance, and celebration where both families come together to perform, sing, and enjoy the festivities.
The Jaggo is a vibrant Punjabi tradition where family and friends dance with a decorated pot to symbolise the joy of the upcoming wedding. Traditionally, it was meant to wake up the community and spread excitement, and today, it’s all about high energy, dhol beats, and nonstop dancing.
