Ours brings together two traditions — a Punjabi Sikh family and a Hindu family — and over four days you will see the customs of both. If some of it is unfamiliar to you, you are in good company. Here is a short guide, so that everyone can join in.
Two families
Jasmeen’s family are Punjabi Sikhs from Bathinda; Siddharth’s are Hindus from Patna. Rather than choose between them, we are keeping the rites of both — which is why the days ahead hold a Gurudwara ceremony and a sacred fire, mehendi and a safa, the dhol and the mantras.
The Punjabi Sikh rites
The days before the wedding belong to the bride’s home — henna on the hands, a turmeric paste called vatna applied by the family as a blessing, and Jaggo, a night of dhol and dancing that carries on late. The marriage itself is the Anand Karaj, the ceremony of bliss, performed at the Gurudwara in the presence of the Guru Granth Sahib.
The Hindu rites
It begins days earlier at Siddharth’s home in Gaya, where the family’s rites run from the Lagan through to the Haldi. The groom arrives with his Baraat, a procession of family and friends received with music and garlands. Later come the Pheras — rounds walked around a sacred fire, each one a vow taken together. It is the moment at which a Hindu marriage is made.
You are welcome in all of it
You do not need to know the customs to take part. Nobody will mind, and there will always be someone glad to show you what to do. Come to whichever days you can — you will find a dress code beside each occasion, and a note wherever something is asked of guests, such as covering your head in the Gurudwara.
We are so excited to celebrate with you in Punjab. Here is a guide to each occasion, and what to wear.
