A Celebration That Never Ceases.

Punjabi Weddings

The flashy decor and the clangouring music, the unending flow of best single malts, the plush gifts, the high-spirited parties and the lost in thrill crowd, a Punjabi wedding looks nothing less than a spectacular revelry. Once you’ve attested the glee and gusto of their wedding celebration, the most extravagant of weddings would seem to be bland. Oftentimes, we get so preoccupied with the paltry details of wedding that the celebratory mood slips away and we may forget to enjoy the moment but Punjabis do not. They never let go of the briefest moment to enjoy and make merry. Their weddings are vivacious and jubilant to the core, they are steeped in old age with unique and interesting traditions. The traditional wedding rituals of Punjab include takha, rokha, mangni, sagai, sangeet, and mehendi which form the pre-wedding rituals whereas ceremonies like choora chadhai and kalire, ghada ghardoli, batna, sehra bandi form the wedding day rituals. Some other aspects of a Punjabi wedding include pheras and kanyadaan while it ends with a opulent reception and heartfelt bidaai.
