Ritual That Followed In Punjabi Wedding - Eazyvenue

Punjabi wedding means lots of fun. There is a lot of fun in this marriage and people make lovely memories while enjoying each and every moment among their loved ones. In the midst of all this, the bride and groom become a part of several rituals, which help them and their families gradually come closer and understand. These rituals are like a ladder, walking on which the couple reaches the wedding and becomes each other forever. This is the reason why every ritual has special importance.

Roka is the ritual that takes place before the engagement. As the name suggests, this ritual means that now the bride and groom's relationship is fixed with each other and they will no longer look to anyone else for their relationship. In this, both the families give and take gifts among themselves and celebrate the firmness of the relationship. Usually there is no ring exchange in this, but nowadays many couples also get engaged in Roka itself. After the roka is done, both the families fix the date of the engagement and then the couple exchange rings.

Kirtan and Dholki

Puja and kirtan are held at the house of both the bride and the groom, in which especially the women of the family take part. This program, kept for the auspicious beginning of the relationship, goes on throughout the day and sometimes ends late at night. After this comes the turn of Dholki i.e. music ceremony. In this, the family dances and sings to the beat of the drum. However, nowadays its form has changed. In modern weddings, DJs are arranged and members of both the families are seen giving different choreographed performances.

Mehendi Ceremony and Jaggo

This is a very important ritual. The hands of the bride to be in this are decorated with henna, for which a woman from the family or an artist from outside is called. The hands as well as the feet of the bride-to-be are decorated with beautiful bridal mehndi designs and are expected to create a deep hue. Mehendi is also applied on the hands of the groom. On the other hand, during the Jaggo ritual, the bride and groom stay awake all night and celebrate with everyone. During this, lamps are lit, which the bride's maternal aunt carries on her head.

Turmeric and Chuda

Turmeric is applied to make the hands of the bride and groom yellow. In this, along with his family members, close friends also participate. The girl is offered bangles on behalf of her maternal uncle. Everyone touches it and gives their blessings. The eyes of the bride are kept closed while wearing it. Later the bangle is covered with a cloth.

He is accompanied by a younger child, who is usually a nephew or a younger brother. He stays with the groom throughout the procession. (Photo Credit: istock by getty images)
