The Hindu, Punjabi, and Gujarati wedding ceremonies are known to involve several pre-wedding events, including the Sangeet. The Sangeet is however unique because it is where the party starts. Sangeet means ‘to sung together’ in Sanskrit. Also referred to as Guan (meaning ‘songs’ or ‘to sing’ in Hindi), the event is traditionally celebrated in the Punjab regions of India. However, several other regions now include it in their pre-wedding celebrations. Initially, the Sangeet is strictly for females, with attendees coming from the two families. But now, we have men joining the party. The Sangeet is not considered a religious pre-wedding ceremony. Instead, it is an avenue to partake in the joy and happiness surrounding the couple.
Nowadays, it has become a one-day event, considering the need to conclude all wedding rites in a week. The Sangeet ceremony holds two or three days before the wedding, usually before the Mehndi ceremony. The highlights of the event include songs rendered collectively by the elderly female members of the families, and dedicated to the bride; dances by the relatives and friends of the couple; and an open dance floor to celebrate the festivities for the other days of the wedding week. The family of the groom is traditionally welcomed by the bride’s family, by singing Suhaag – a traditional folk song, to the tune of the Dhol.
The traditional songs are rendered by the female members of the families of the groom and bride, in unison. The choice of songs is decided by the elders since they lead the pack. The songs, mostly related to the Punjabi culture, centers on the bride leaving for her parent’s home, and how to make a successful marriage. While the Sangeet is premised on rejoicing, it is also an important avenue for the families to gather and get familiar before the wedding day.
The couple is entertained by the choreographed dance numbers performed by friends and relatives. And it is also considered as a form of social bond that connects the families with themselves and the couple. You may hire an Indian Wedding DJ to host your Sangeet.
