Sangeet

Sangeet, which means 'sung together' in Sanskrit, is where the wedding festivities kick off. It's all about music and merriment. Originally from Punjab, it's now celebrated across India as a joyful pre-wedding bash.
We’ll have performances and YES, we will have a henna artist! The darker the color… the brighter the future!
Unlike formal ceremonies, the Sangeet is all about soaking in the happiness and spreading the love for the soon-to-be-wed couple. Let's dance and celebrate!
