After getting engaged, both the girl and the boy enjoy their courtship, the period when they get to know more about each other. And then, the preparations for the grand Punjabi wedding begin. Wedding begins with ‘Akhand Path’, which ends with a ceremony called ‘Sagan’. Then in the evening, the most awaited ‘Mehndi ki raat’ is celebrated. Popularly know as ‘Ladies Sangeet’, it is one of the most exciting rituals in Punjabi marriages.
Then the grand wedding day arrives, which begins with Chuda & Ghara Ghardoli: During the Chuda ceremony, the oldest maternal uncle and aunt have the most active role to perform. As Punjabis love eating, both Sikh and Hindu weddings are marked by more feasting. The concluding item is doli, literally “palanquin”, when the bride is given an emotional farewell by her family and friends.
