Pre-Wedding Rituals: The Joy Begins Early
The celebrations start days before the wedding with rituals that bring families together. The Roka ceremony marks the official union of the couple, followed by Kurmai, where engagement rings are exchanged. One of the most loved traditions is the Mehndi ceremony, where intricate henna designs adorn the bride’s hands amidst singing and laughter.
The Sangeet night is another highlight, filled with music, choreographed performances, and nonstop Bhangra and Gidda, setting the tone for the grand wedding day.
Wedding Day Traditions: Sacred and Spectacular
The wedding day is a perfect blend of spirituality and celebration. The groom arrives in style with the Baraat, dancing to dhol beats, while the bride’s family welcomes him warmly. The Milni ceremony, where relatives from both sides exchange garlands, symbolizes unity and respect.
The wedding takes place in the presence of the Guru Granth Sahib, with the couple taking the Laavan—four sacred rounds that signify their spiritual and emotional bond. The ceremony is serene, meaningful, and deeply rooted in Sikh traditions.
Attire: Elegance Meets Royalty
Punjabi wedding outfits are known for their richness and elegance. Brides usually wear heavily embroidered lehenga or salwar suits in red, maroon, or pastel shades, paired with traditional jewelry like kalire, chooda, and maang tikka. Grooms often opt for sherwanis or kurta-pajamas with turbans, completing a regal look.
Food and Festivities: A Feast to Remember
No Punjabi wedding is complete without an extravagant feast. From butter chicken, paneer dishes, dal makhani, and naan to delicious desserts like jalebi, gulab jamun, and kheer, the food reflects Punjab’s love for rich flavors.
The celebrations continue late into the night with music, dancing, and heartfelt moments shared among family and friends.
A Celebration of Togetherness
A Punjabi wedding is a soulful celebration of love, family bonds, and cultural heritage. Every ritual, song, and dance step tells a story of joy, unity, and lifelong commitment—making it an unforgettable experience for everyone involved.
