Sangeet Night

[mega-hitech-hitesh-blog]

Jain muni attacking directly to the whole community of dancers as claming that choreographers are mainly bad in character due to some incidents happened in Pune or Mumbai.

Hello my is Hitesh mohan founder of dance asia plus from Delhi – it looks so stupid where thousands of people sitting in front of Jain muni where he is claiming and blaming the community of choreographers and their character and also trying to show his fake style of energy in terms of aggression by saying – ‘ mere paas aao main sikhaunga daat kaise todne hain ‘ – I think he is filled up with his…

a lando x desi!reader marriage fic. Omgggv just imagine all the lil functions and tradition it'd be sooo cutee

Mehndi laga ke rakhna

OKAY SO. i did get a request similar to this so im just gonna combine both so i hope yall dont mind!!! the other request i got was basically this but it just mentioned that lando was telling y/n that they’ll get married like this one day and i wanted to include that cause it’s so cute🤭 also the unfortunate truth is that i haven’t been to a lot of weddings. the only wedding i remember very well was my aunt’s wedding from when 10 years ago(i was 9. fuck that’s crazy) but i did my best with this.

Ever since Y/n took Lando to her friend’s wedding. The thought of marrying her never left his mind. All he wanted was to marry her but the way her culture does it. Growing up in India meant a lot of traditions, festivals, wedding events, etc.

When Y/n asked Lando to come with her to her friend’s wedding, he said no at first but after attending all the events, he was mesmerised. He loved every single one of them. The mehndi, the sangeet, the haldi. all of it

The day of the wedding, as both of them watched her friend marry the love of her life, he wrapped his arms around her beautiful lengha whispering

“One day, I’m gonna marry you exactly like this”

She smiled said she couldn’t wait for that day to come. And boy that day came so quickly. With the blessing of her parents, he proposed to her a month or two later and immediately got to work.

Lando basically saw a new side of his fiancée. Full of stress and making sure things were right. Slowly she started to lose her mind cause she had to come up with the guest list, find the venue for all the events and Lando was starting to see how much goes into a desi wedding.

But once all the events took place, it felt magical.

Mehndi

The mehndi event was fine. Y/n was basically sitting in one place for hours getting mehndi (henna) done on her hands and legs. Lando kept coming over to give her company smiling like a child the whole time.

She was wearing a simple kurta that belonged to her mom with a dupata. She saw Lando come up to her and sit next to her careful not to ruin anything

“Hello my lovely bride” He greeted her placing a gentle kiss on her cheek.

“Hi baba. Hogaya tera? (you’re done?)” She asked him and he happily showed off his palm with mehndi on it.

“All done and dried”

She smiled at his little goofy self. They enjoyed each other’s company even though she basically couldn’t move but she leaned into him resting herself as she watched the design come to life on her body.

He loved everything about this. He knew he was gonna love the coming days of this era.

Sangeet

The sangeet was everyone’s favourite cause they get to dance for the couple and her friends had so much planned for them. The drivers invited actually reached out to Y/n’s friends and asked them for help so they could do a dance and that’s exactly what they did.

Everyone was getting drinks, having conversations and when it was time for the performance, they gathered around the floor stage to watch the performances by friends.

Lando and Y/n were sitting at the front while the rest were standing and two of her friends entered with the song “kamariya” playing making her cheer since it was garba dance which she adored so much. The dance was so good and when it was changing to the next song, the rest of her group joined in.

The next dance had the song “kukkad” so the boys and girls were dancing together. The reason they chose this song was cause student of the year was their favourite movie during their childhood (and also because of Sidharth Malhotra).

A few performances later came the best for last. Carlos, Oscar, Max, Charles and George entered the stage making the crowd go crazy. Especially Lando since he gets to see his friends dance to the best item song ever which was “fevicol se”

They boys did great. Y/n was so proud of them she got up with Lando and went to hug them after their dance and everyone joined the floor having the time of their life.

Haldi

Lando and Y/n decided to keep the haldi event small with close friends and family only. The haldi event was basically smearing tumeric/haldi on the bride and groom. It’s normally a day or two before the actual wedding and held it at her house.

Everyone put tumeric all over them. In their hair, skin, clothes. Everywhere. It was a short event but very intimate and fun. So many pictures got taken over the days and many memories were made.

The wedding

the day was finally here. The day Lando and Y/n get married. How were they feeling you ask? nervous as hell. No cold feet. No. They knew they wanted to do this. It just felt too good to be true. They couldn’t believe this was actually happening

Y/n was in the dressing room getting ready for the big day. She wore a beautiful Manish Malhotra Lenhgha and her makeup was stunning. Her mother was helping her get everything together.

“I’m so happy for you baba. Meri bacchi ki shaadi ho rahi hai (my daughter is getting married)”

She said before kissing Y/n’s cheek aggressively making her laugh.

“Love you too mumma. zyada rona matt (don’t cry too much)”

Her mother laughed but just pulled her cheek. After a while, the time came. They entered and Lando was already sitting next to the fire mesmerised by her beauty. She was already so beautiful but seeing her as bride struck something in him.

He couldn’t wait to spend the rest of his life with this woman. As she sat down with him the words immediately left his mouth

“You look so beautiful…”

Y/n blushed. After all these years, he still managed to get her all flustered smiling like a little girl.

“Still know how to make me blush after all these years huh?”

She said teasing him.

The ceremony was beautiful. Both families were crying. Seeing their children get married was something they weren’t ready for but loved it regardless.

The wedding eneded in a few hours and it was magical. It was everything the both of them wanted. Once they headed back, they stepped into the house for the first time as husband and wife.

Lando immediately kissed his wife. Still processing that this woman was now his wife. He pulled away saying

“Welcome home wife” He said booping her nose making her tear up a little out of happiness.

“Welcome home husband” She returned immediately hugging him whispering

“I love you. I can’t wait to spend the remainder of my life with you”

He felt so happy hearing that

“I love you too. I’m so excited to spend my life with you too”

They got the life they wanted and deserved. It was the best time of their life and when all the photos came, they spent a lot of time looking at it and deciding which ones to put up on their wall.

It was a good wedding indeed.

A goodbye needed

From being born in Hyderabad to living in the northern part of India, that is Gurgaon and then the Western side, Maharashtra to Vishakhapatnam in the south and finally in the eastern states of Chhattisgarh, West Bengal, and Odisha, I do get to say that I covered eighteen years of my life in the four main directions of India. But my favourite city has and will always be Kolkata.

To be honest, my brother desperately wanted to live in Kolkata because of Eden Gardens in our GK book. I wasn't that interested until I arrived in Kolkata in 2016 to appear for the written test in my school. The exam went well and so did the interview. I remember my father lived in a small bachelor's one room apartment in Ruby Park. My eleven year old eyes were stunned as they took in the grandeur of the old buildings from the British era to the modern metros and malls of Kolkata. When I came back to Raipur, all I knew was Kolkata would be life changing for me.

And in 2017, I did come home. To Kolkata. A small roadside apartment facing a canal where you don't have crystal clear water but drainage water. Somehow the water wasn't stinky until the arrival of the monsoon showers. I lived there from 2017 to 2020. I was supposed to stay there until 2022 but fate had other plans but that's a story for another day.

I always call Kolkata home even though I am from Odisha. It was the only city that embraced all shades of me. I spent the first two years of my teenage there. The damp roads leading to my apartment have heard my songs above sweet love and true friendship. On quiet midnights, my tiny balcony knew the whispers of my soul, and the questions it asked about fate and the world. The monsoon rainfall told me how to appreciate nature and beauty. I learnt to dance with storms, and dream of stories that I now write and desperately wish to be a part of.

I met a teacher who told me in a tone akin to a whisper in front of the class that I am like a small pandora box, hidden from view but having the most wonderful and beautiful things to offer the world. The next month I danced for a school event and God since then I never looked back. Kolkata connected my soul to literature and culture.

I am no longer in Kolkata but each time my calendar notifies Rabindranath Thakur's jayanti, my heart goes to the old tunes of Rabindra sangeet; the beauty and tenderness of his songs that captured my heart and caused me to spill some of my poetry in the last page of my rough notebook.

I visited kolkata again in December 2021 after first term examinations of class twelve. My connection with kolkata broke like a plant uprooted from its soil. It felt as if I had been banished from home. All the months that passed, and all the seasons that changed showed me memories and dreams of what could have been in kolkata. But when I visited kolkata, I saw how some things had changed.

My home appeared....... different? I always say that my young soul blossomed in Kolkata. The same soul turned sad at the emotion that the city showed me. Perhaps that's how growing up is. To see that things around you change, people, roads, hearts everything but somewhere there still lies a calling that says, 'hey, I know things are different. But I am still here. Look at me, embrace the new me. Embrace yourself. You are changing too.'

Where it once used to be wonder, nostalgia filled my heart as I met my friends after two years. I passed through my apartment again and smiled at the balcony, my small corner for solitude. I saw a few towels hanging there.

Going back from Kolkata felt a little sad. I could not accept the change. I had been uprooted from my roots, and when I come back I see new flowers springing up. Without me?

Then after a year, I visited Kolkata again in July 2023. I had grown so had the city. When I passed by the same British era buildings and Howrah bridge, the same wonder struck my soul. I saw a few flowers growing on the pathway, getting their nourishment from the July showers. The empty space in my heart too was filled with flowers. My friends who are now in their respective colleges, doing their own things with their own friend circles now but somehow we come together. Just like old days before.

Home is always home no matter how far you go or how long you stay away from it. Home will always welcome you back. The fragrance of wet earth filled my soul with a warm blanket, as if telling me that all this while, I waited for you. I am different but I am still your friend.

Era sukher laagi chahe prem, prem mele na.

Shudhu sukh chole jaye emoni mayar cholona

This song will always remind me of Kolkata, the warm monsoon nights that were filled with a longing of love, friendship and magic. It will take me back to dreams and whispers of a fantasy that my heart still believes in that I would one day bring forth the wonder and beauty of my Self to the world. It will remind me that there must be tender days to be spent in reading poetry on a cool evening.

The day I boarded the train to Durgapur, my heart hummed the tune of Era Sukher Lagi from Choker Bali. As the train left the station, I waved at my young self through the window. It was farewell. I would come home later for my dance work, a thread that shall tie me to this wonderful city forever but I would never come home this way ever again and for the first time I was happy. And perhaps to witness an end to a heartwarming journey of nostalgia, acceptance to change and farewell, the clouds showered rainfall against the window just like the cool monsoon nights years ago.

All was well....

Hi Ambrose <333 can you talk to me about some Marathi wedding traditions? (Its for very important prongsfoot research 🙏🙏 thank youu)

Ooh yay Marathi weddings! I love them! Let's get started right away!

First things first: Indian weddings are almost festivals in their own right. There is a lot going on during wedding season, and it all condenses down into a very chaotic week that makes you feel like you're stuck in a whirlwind you never want to get out of.

I'm going to go off of my experiences with Big Fat Indian Weddings (which: I've seen many of those, each and every wedding I've been to has had around 2500 guests), so buckle up.

There are many rituals and events in an Indian wedding, and you can pick and choose which events you want, or you can have all of them, it's entirety up to you. There used to be regional traditions to weddings before, but now they are blending together, for example: Sangeet is a typically Punjabi affair when it comes to weddings, but every Maharashtrian celebration I've been to has held a Sangeet.

I'm going to give a sort of overview of all the things that take place and in which order, so here goes:

The Lagnaach Bedior: before any festivities begin, the horoscopes (Patrika) of the bride and groom are matched before any events. The family of the bride and groom get together and call on a family priest who checks their Patrika and details them out, offering advice for any difficulties that they may face in married life.

Then comes the Muhurta Medha; where the families of the bride and groom to be plant a tree as an auspicious beginning.

The wedding season starts with— you guessed it— an engagement ceremony. In Marathi, it is called Sakhar Puda (Sakhar– sugar, puda– packet) or Vangnishchay (verbal agreement). The bride is gifted with packets of sugar, clothing and jewellery, and the groom is given coconut, gold/silver coins, and clothes as well. The sugar signifies a sweet beginning of the marriage. Engagement rings, while not traditionally a Hindu thing, are also exchanged by the bride and groom to be.

Sometimes, a family may choose to have a pre- Sakhar Puda mehendi ceremony, it's not very common. A mehendi ceremony is when women who are invited to the wedding (hint: a lot of women) get together for a day to get their hands stained with mehendi. The bride is the star of the show, and her mehendi usually goes up to her biceps, and even her feet are stained. This is in general a very relaxed setting, with lots of cushions to lounge on and lots of food and refreshments (as is typical of any Indian get together lol food is important). A mehendi is always held before the main ceremony of marriage vows, though.

After the Vangnishchay comes the Muhurta— the priest is called once again, and this time a specific time is fixed for the beginning of the ceremony of vows. And then, the preparations begin in earnest, months before the wedding day.

Five Savashani (a married woman; the Hindi word is Suhasini) are invited by the bride’s mother on an auspicious day. They make turmeric powder and Sandege (pulses and spice powder) in mortar and pestle to be used later in the wedding, and Papad is rolled for eating. The women then hold a Rukhwat by decorating artistically and exhibiting bridal lehengas and sarees, jewellery, kitchen utensils, sweets and all sorts of bridal trousseau as a part of the wedding rituals of Maharashtra.

Next: the Sangeet! Sangeet is held anywhere between two days to a week before the ceremony of vows. There is food, lots of music and dancing to both traditional wedding songs and Bollywood songs, and it's generally a time for people to come together and have as much fun as possible. They're possibly my favourite part of weddings. (They're also not traditionally Maharashtrian, they're Punjabi, but lots of families still do it.)

Sometimes, the pre wedding mehendi is done right alongside the Sangeet, and other times it is done a either the day after Sangeet or after Kelvan (explained below). Again, lots of women come together and draw mehendi designs on their hands. Bridal mehendi goes all the way up to the biceps, and the feet are also decorated. It's very fun.

After the Sangeet comes the Kelvan, where the parents of the bride and groom to be invite each other's family for a meal. Gifts are given and aarti-puja for the Kuldevta (family deities) is performed, and in general it is a very simple yet beautiful affair. This is typically done two or three days before the wedding. The Kelvan ceremony invite also includes close family and relatives from both sides. The idea behind the ritual is to show respect and know each other better.

The day before— or sometimes the morning of, depending on the auspicious time— the ceremony of wedding vows, a Halad Chadawat is held. The bride and groom's respective families rub turmeric powder and water into their skin with the help of freshly picked mango leaves. It's a playful event, with lots of laughter and pranks. Halad (turmeric) is used for cleansing and purifying one's body before entering into a holy matrimony. It symbolizes the happy start of a new life together, and is said to protect the couple from any bad omens that may harm them before the wedding.

Now comes the actual wedding. This one's a doozy muahaha!

The day begins with a Puja of the Lord Ganpati, who is always honoured and worshipped at the beginning of any venture (there is a myth behind this, if you want to know). After the Ganpatidev Puja, the Kuldevta is also invoked to bless the couple.

The groom enters the venue of the wedding with a procession on the back of a horse, sometimes with a sword and scabbard strapped to his waist. The Seemant Puja is performed. The bride's mother washes the groom's feet and gifts are given to the groom's family by the bride's family.

The bride, wearing either a red or a yellow wedding Shalu (a type of saree) and with a Mundavalya (a string of pearls or flowers) tied across her forehead, performs the Gaurihar Puja with her parents. Rice is placed on the idol’s head as mantras and shlokas are recited. Prayers to the Goddess Parvati for a happy and prosperous married life are said.

The Antarpat ritual is the main one. A silk shawl is hung between the bride and groom while the Brahmin chants the mantras.

After the Antarpat comes the Sankalp, where the silk shawl is removed after the mantras are finished. The guests showers the newly married couple with Akshata (unbroken rice grains) to bless them with a happy marriage.

The Kanyadaan follows: here, the father of the bride gives her hand to the groom, who ties a mangalsutra around her neck and applies sindoor (red powder) to her forehead. The bride presses chandan (sandalwood) to the groom's forehead in return.

For the Saptapadi, the couple takes seven rounds around the holy fire. The bride is required to touch seven betel nuts placed on top of small mounds of rice with her right foot. Once the seven rounds are done, she places her foot on a grindstone, while the groom holds her hand or foot, symbolizing that she needs to be strong and he will always support her.

The bride’s father along with the couple pray to god for blessings in the Karmasamaapti (meaning "end of the act")

A grand feast fit for royalty follows the wedding ceremony, and there is again a lot of dancing and music. A separate Reception is also held, which is just another party so that the bride and groom— who had been busy with the wedding itself— can mingle with everyone who had attended.

Hiii! i freaking love you and all your work! i wanted to know when you’ll be posting the next part of blue moon (that is if you still are) and also do you think y/n and mason will be having a joint desi and english wedding and all of the rituals? and future kids😭

thank you lovely!! 🫶🏽

i think i might just finish blue moon where it is, i’m not sure i want to carry it on anymore 😔 i might make an epilogue at some point tho!!

omg yes y/n and mason will for sure we having a desi wedding and an english wedding! y/n grew up in england so she wants to have a white wedding as well as a traditional indian wedding

it’d start with the ceremony at a stately country manor house, y/n in a beautiful white figure-hugging gown with a train and mason in a black tux crying at the altar when she walks down the aisle to an instrumental of a love song that y/n wrote for him. they’ll both cry during their vows even though mason’s is full of stupid jokes, and then he’ll kiss her softly when the ceremony ends. then they’ll have the reception in a ballroom with florals and veuve clicquot and a string quartet. they’ll both have an outfit change ofc with their extra selves 😭 their first dance would be to an instrumental version of a bollywood song like maula mere maula 🥹 their loved ones will do speeches and toasts and it’ll be a classy night until everyone gets drunk on cocktails and they finally stumble into their rooms at like 3am

then the week after that will be all the events of an indian wedding but rather than the bride and groom being split, their families do all the events together (bc obviously mason’s white family don’t know what they’re doing 😭). they’ll have a maiyan with rangoli in the chelsea badge, and it’ll end with mason and y/n throwing the haldi paste at each other 💀 they’ll have a ladies sangeet with everyone getting their mehndi done(the boys will all ask for the chels lion or something stupid like that 💀), and mason’s gonna spend forever looking for his initials and his number 19 in y/n’s mehndi. he’s gonna be annoying and try to get involved in the boliyan that y/n’s aunties and grandmothers are singing, but he’ll be demoted to doing the tambourine. the jago night will be dance battle after dance battle, and mason’s stupid ass gets lectured by y/n’s bibi for nearly dropping the jago 😭

mason’s gonna facetime y/n on the wedding morning for her to check that his turban is on properly but steph and isla will answer instead so he can’t see her getting ready. y/n will be at the gurdwara early and she’ll watch the milni through a window, nearly crying at her and mason’s families greeting each other. when y/n walks into the hall in her red bridal lehenga, everyone will be gasping and mason can’t help but look even though he’s not supposed to, making him cry at the sight of her again. y/n sits beside him and he’ll crack some stupid joke before the ceremony starts, the two of them giggling like idiots. they’ll do the ceremony, mason so nervous about making sure he gets everything right, walking slowly for the four laavan so y/n doesn’t trip over behind him. when the fourth laav is done, they’ll both be smiling like idiots bc they’re officially married in both cultures. they won’t be able to help themselves from holding hands during all the hymns and when everyone finally leaves the hall at the end of the ceremony, they’ll get to share a cute little kiss.

y/n and the bride’s side will go back to her parents house, and when mason and his side arrive at the house, y/n’s sister and all the girls will be at the door, making him do stupid challenges and getting him to pay them a grand each so he can take their sister. y/n will cry as she says bye to her family, leaving the house as a married woman, and mason will have tissues for her in his pocket but he’ll also be trying not to laugh at her 😭

y/n and mason will get ready for the reception at his house, both of them in navy blue for the party, and they’ll do a big extra entrance into the hall with flashing lights and dhol players. they’ll cut the wedding cake, mason feeding y/n a piece and y/n smushing a piece into mason’s cheek instead. they’ll have another first dance, this time to an instrumental of Die For You, and then it’ll go straight into everyone joining them on the dance floor bc the dj’s playing classic wedding bhangra. they’ll both dance until their feet hurt and everyone will get super drunk with the free bar, and the whole thing will just be perfect 🥹

How to plan your wedding in a simple way

Planning a wedding is no easy feat, especially if you’re looking to do it in a simple way. With the help of event organisers in Hyderabad and corporate event organisers, you can have the wedding of your dreams without any problems. In this blog post, we'll go over all the steps you need to take in order to plan your wedding in a simple way. From booking vendors to creating a budget, we'll make sure that your wedding planning is as stress-free as possible. So, keep reading to learn more about how to plan your wedding in a simple way without any problems.

Set a Budget

People often don't budget while they're spending money. A wedding is not a one-day event—it can be expensive! But, thankfully, there are many ways to save money before getting married. With so much information on the Internet about how to plan an Indian ceremony, it's easy to find resources that will make you feel confident about your financial situation as well. One thing worth keeping in mind? The costs associated with weddings often exceed projected costs by 10%-30% due to unforeseen expenses or increased prices during planning time (so it's important to allocate some wiggle room).

Choose Your Wedding Date

The timeline of an Indian Wedding requires careful planning.

For example, all invitees to the wedding should receive invitations at least 3-6 months prior to the event. This will give them time enough to plan how they can attend. Additionally, this is a good way to gauge whether or not they'll attend because no one wants to spend money on travel arrangements only for people who won't even show up!

And then there's the must-do items: mehndi party, haldi function and sangeet dance party. To avoid unexpected costs, consider booking different spaces depending on what type of event you're hosting (cocktail party vs mehndi party).

Decide on the Type of Wedding

Type: Decide if you will need an indoor space such as a wedding hall or banquet room, or an outdoor venue.

 Choose an Invitation Style

This is one way to save a lot of money on weddings in India. Many people spend a lot on wedding invitations, but you can save a significant amount of dough if you adopt an eco-friendly and budget-conscious approach. 

It's common these days to use E-Cards for mass invites; many urban couples are opting this way because they want something personalized and meaningful that doesn't involve using paper (which often ends up in landfills). 

Even if you're having an intimate ceremony at home or just need a few invites, there's really no good reason not to order them online! You could even get custom design done just for your special day.

Book Your Venue

Selecting the perfect wedding venue in India can be intimidating. But these important points will make it easier:

Location - Site inspection solves the problem of locale and choosing one that presents an inviting first impression. Having ample capacity (both flexible indoor space and outdoor options) is essential for different types of events, like a small family gathering or a huge bollywood-style show.

 Finally, choose between Banquet Halls, Marriage Halls, or other venues depending on what you're looking for. if you are looking for event organisers in hyderabad please visit this site rosewonders.com

Availability - Choose your event type based on what you want from it - need large rooms? Just ask if it'll accommodate how many people will be attending (this differs according to wedding season). Is there safe parking for cars? These simple but important factors will make guests happy about coming out to celebrate!

Why Indian Weddings are incomplete without dance?

When we say Indian weddings are so much fun, we mean it and you would agree too. From dressing up in the brightest and blingiest outfits to elaborative ceremonies and functions, and of course the food, Indian weddings are a lot of fun. But what makes Indian Weddings stand out among the crowd is the mad dancing. “Shadi Wala Dance” is actually a thing in India which is specially choreographed. While the bride and the groom are surely a centre of attraction at weddings, the second most awaited moments at the weddings are the dance performances of family & friends. To help you get started, team Ucanji with their skilled dance choreographers have a list of Bollywood Wedding Dance videos and choreographies that may help you nail your performance.

The most popular dance forms that are performed at every Indian wedding are Bhangra and Bollywood.

Well of course Bhangra because Indian weddings are incomplete without some full-on energetic Bhangra moves. Although it’s a traditional dance form of Punjab, entire Northern India dances to the beats of Punjabi dhol and rhythms. Bhangra Dancing is all about having fun and stomping one's feet to the rhythm of the music. A chance to dance to the distinctive rhythms and melodies of Punjabi music is an integral part of the experience. Bhangra beautifully mirrors the liveliness and dynamism of the people of Punjab, and a Bhangra performance during a wedding turns into a mass performance with every guest joining in.

Bollywood has a massive impact on everything Indian, especially weddings. Every wedding will have at least one filmy performance on ‘Bole Chudiyan’ or any other fancy Bollywood song. Dancing to the famous hook steps of Bollywood Songs has now become a wedding ritual. Whether you are a newcomer or a Bollywood dancing aficionado, our online dance class is the perfect place for you to explore your talent. Learn from our expert dance choreographers all basic to advance level Bollywood dancing. So, the next time you are at a wedding function, you can ace the dance floor with your perfect Bollywood dance moves.

Importance of Dancing at Indian Weddings

Indian Weddings have a ceremony completely dedicated to singing and dancing, that’s how much we Indians love to dance. The Sangeet ceremony is the most important part of the wedding, yes, more than the actual wedding pheras. No, not really but it’s the lifeblood of a wedding. Friends and family begin their performance rehearsals as the big day draws near. Under the guidance of skilled choreographers and interesting dance choreographies, learning wedding dance performances gets easier with Ucanji.

Every Indian wedding is different from one other depending on the cultural background of the bride and the groom. There are Punjabi weddings, Rajasthani weddings, Gujarati weddings, South Indian weddings, and many more. Each has different traditions. But one thing that binds them all together is the dancing ritual.

Weddings in India have transformed from being austere and all about traditions to glamorous and cinematic. Gone are the days when the sangeet ceremony used to be all about traditional “Shadi ke geet”. Now the sangeet ceremony is a planned event of the extravagant musical affair, which isn’t restricted to just females. It has earned its place as a pre-wedding event where the entire family from both sides dance their heart off. Wedding Dance is a thing now and learning wedding dance online is the latest trend.

Indian Dancing can be as extreme as anything else in India. Dancing in India roots in the ancient form of art that represents the broader spectrum of Indian Heritage. The conclusion is that Indians love to dance. It’s an integral representation of Indian Culture and Indian weddings are the epitome of India’s cultural beauty.

Sikh Wedding Videographer: Capturing Tradition, Love, and Memories

Introduction

Sikh weddings, rich in tradition and vibrant culture, are more than just ceremonies—they are profound celebrations of faith, family, and love. Capturing these moments requires a professional who understands the intricacies of Sikh customs, rituals, and the unique visual storytelling required for such an occasion. This is where a Sikh wedding videographer steps in, playing a pivotal role in preserving every sacred and joyous moment of the big day. From the colorful pre-wedding ceremonies to the emotional Anand Karaj and lively reception, a skilled videographer ensures that these memories are cherished for generations.

Importance of a Sikh Wedding Videographer

A Sikh wedding videographer does much more than just operate a camera; they are tasked with narrating the love story of the couple and the unity of their families through a lens. Sikh weddings are filled with emotional moments, vibrant colors, and elaborate customs that need to be captured with precision and care. Whether it’s the serene prayers in the Gurdwara, the traditional bride’s entry, or the exuberant Bhangra during the reception, the right videographer ensures that no moment is missed.

Understanding the Sikh Wedding Rituals

To truly appreciate the role of a Sikh wedding videographer, one must understand the structure and significance of a Sikh wedding. Sikh weddings are built on centuries of tradition, and the videographer’s responsibility is to immortalize these rituals. Here’s a brief overview of some key events that occur:

Pre-Wedding Ceremonies: Before the wedding day, there are a series of important ceremonies like the Roka, Kurmai (engagement), Sangeet (music night), and Mehndi (henna ceremony). Each event is unique and carries its own emotional significance.

Anand Karaj: The actual Sikh wedding ceremony is called Anand Karaj, which translates to "blissful union." This is a religious ceremony held at a Gurdwara (Sikh temple), where the bride and groom pledge their union in front of the Guru Granth Sahib (the Sikh holy scripture). The ceremony includes the Laavan, where the couple walks around the holy scripture four times.

Post-Wedding Celebrations: After the ceremony, the reception and the various cultural celebrations begin. These are lively, full of dancing, music, and festivity, giving the videographer plenty of dynamic moments to capture.

A good videographer will not only document the various elements of the wedding but will also focus on the emotions, reactions, and love shared between the couple, family, and guests.

What to Look for in a Sikh Wedding Videographer

When choosing a Sikh wedding videographer, there are several key factors that couples should consider to ensure their special day is perfectly captured.

1. Experience with Sikh Weddings

It’s crucial to hire a videographer who has prior experience with Sikh weddings. The traditions and customs are unique, and someone familiar with the sequence of events will be better equipped to anticipate and capture the essential moments. An experienced videographer will understand the importance of rituals like the Milni (formal meeting of the families), the Laavan (four rounds of the holy scripture), and the Doli (bride's departure) and will know the best angles and timing to shoot these events.

2. Cinematic vs. Documentary Style

Sikh wedding videographers typically offer two types of video styles: cinematic and documentary.

Cinematic: This is more of an artistic, stylized representation of the wedding day. It involves a lot of creativity, slow-motion shots, transitions, and sometimes even drone footage to give the wedding video a grand, film-like quality.

Documentary: This style focuses on recording events as they unfold, keeping it more traditional and straightforward. The focus is on capturing every moment as it happens in chronological order, with minimal editing.

Many couples prefer a blend of both, where the main ceremonies are documented in detail, but artistic shots and montages are included for the highlights.

3. Use of Technology

The technological capabilities of a videographer are important, especially for a Sikh wedding, where the events unfold quickly and require dynamic shots. Check if they offer:

High-definition 4K video: This ensures the highest quality for your wedding video.

Drone footage: For stunning aerial shots, especially during the Baraat (groom’s procession) or outdoor wedding venues.

Multi-camera setup: To ensure that no important angle or moment is missed, such as the bride’s entrance and the groom’s reaction at the same time.

4. Editing and Post-Production

A lot of the magic happens during the editing phase. It’s important to discuss what kind of editing style the videographer offers, whether they include:

Color grading for enhanced visuals

Adding music to the video that matches the theme of the wedding

Special effects and transitions

It’s also worth discussing the delivery timeline to ensure that the final video is provided within a reasonable time frame after the wedding.

5. Client Testimonials and Portfolio

One of the most reliable ways to assess a videographer’s capabilities is through their portfolio and client reviews. Make sure to watch previous Sikh wedding videos they’ve done to gauge their style, attention to detail, and ability to capture the essence of the ceremonies. Client testimonials can also provide insights into their professionalism, punctuality, and reliability.

The Role of Storytelling in Sikh Wedding Videography

What makes wedding videography truly special is the art of storytelling. A Sikh wedding videographer doesn’t just record the day’s events; they weave them together into a beautiful narrative. The couple’s personal story, how they met, their journey together, and their families’ joy are all incorporated into the final video.

The videographer captures key moments such as the bride’s emotions during the Doli, the exchange of garlands, and the significance of the Laavan, creating a seamless blend of tradition, personal connection, and celebration. By paying attention to the couple’s dynamics and interactions with their loved ones, the videographer ensures that the story told is heartfelt and reflective of the wedding’s emotional depth.

The Growing Popularity of Live Streaming

As technology advances, live streaming has become increasingly popular in Sikh weddings, particularly for couples with family and friends across the globe. A Sikh wedding videographer can offer live streaming services to ensure that even those who can’t attend in person can still be a part of the celebration in real-time. This is especially useful for Anand Karaj ceremonies held in Gurdwaras, where space can be limited.

Budget Considerations

The cost of hiring a Sikh wedding videographer can vary depending on the length of coverage, the number of videographers involved, and the level of post-production required. Some offer packages that cover everything from the pre-wedding events to the reception, while others may offer more customized options. Typically, a full-day videography service with high-quality production can range anywhere from £2,000 to £6,000 or more, depending on the location and services included.

Couples should carefully review their budget and ensure that the chosen package aligns with their vision for their wedding video. While it may be tempting to go for cheaper options, it’s important to remember that wedding videos are lifelong keepsakes, and it’s worth investing in quality.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Why is it important to hire a videographer experienced in Sikh weddings?

Sikh weddings have unique customs, traditions, and religious rituals that need to be captured with respect and understanding. A videographer experienced in Sikh weddings will know the sequence of events and how to document them with precision and care.

What is the difference between cinematic and documentary videography?

Cinematic videography is more artistic, with creative shots and transitions, often giving the wedding video a film-like quality. Documentary videography focuses on capturing the events as they happen, keeping the recording straightforward and detailed.

How long does it take to receive the final wedding video?

The timeline for receiving the final video can vary depending on the videographer and the amount of editing involved. Typically, couples can expect to receive their edited video within 4 to 12 weeks after the wedding.

Can the videographer capture both the bride and groom’s preparations?

Yes, many Sikh wedding videographers offer multi-camera setups or work with a team to ensure they can capture both the bride and groom’s preparations, as well as other key events happening simultaneously.

Do Sikh wedding videographers offer live streaming?

Yes, many videographers offer live streaming services, which allow family and friends who cannot attend the wedding in person to participate in the celebrations in real-time.

Conclusion

Hiring a Sikh wedding videographer is a crucial step in preserving the memories of one of the most important days in a couple’s life. With the right professional, couples can relive every emotional, joyous, and sacred moment of their wedding day for years to come. From the rich traditions of the Anand Karaj to the lively celebrations of the reception, a skilled videographer will ensure that every cherished memory is captured beautifully and professionally. When choosing a Sikh wedding videographer, couples should prioritize experience, storytelling ability, and the use of modern technology to create a timeless keepsake that will be treasured for generations.
