Punjab’s marriage rituals beautifully combine tradition, culture, and heartfelt celebrations. The journey starts with the Roka Ceremony, where both families formally agree to the match and bless the couple. This is followed by Kurmai (engagement), marked by ring exchange, gifts, and warm blessings.
Pre-wedding festivities bring vibrant Punjabi energy. Chunni Chadai involves the groom’s family presenting a traditional chunni and jewelry to the bride. The Mehndi ceremony decorates the bride’s hands with intricate henna designs, while Sangeet and Jaggo nights are filled with music, dance, and joyful gatherings.
The wedding day centers around the sacred Anand Karaj, performed at the Gurudwara. During this spiritual ceremony, the couple takes the Lavan Phere around the Guru Granth Sahib, symbolizing their union, commitment, and shared spiritual journey.
