A traditional Punjabi
wedding is an event to
look forward to, whether
you are involved in it
as a bride, a groom, or
as a guest. The
ceremonies and rituals
are lavish, and each is
a sweet excuse for fun,
frolic and festivity.
Be warned: The
merry-making is
absolutely infectious.
On the flip side, if
you're used to being a
wall-flower at weddings,
go ahead and attend a
Punjabi one. You just
might emerge a
flamboyant person.
Punjabi wedding
traditions and
ceremonies are
traditionally conducted
in Punjabi and are a
strong reflection of
Punjabi culture. While
the actual religious
marriage ceremony, among
Hindus, Sikhs, Jains may
be conducted in
Sanskrit, Punjabi, by
the Pundit, Qazi,
Granthi or Priest, there
are commonalities in
ritual, song, dance,
food, and dress. The
Punjabi wedding has many
rituals and ceremonies
that have evolved since
traditional times,
including many famous
Punjabi dances. |
