Punjabi Wedding Traditions
Punjab’s weddings are a vibrant celebration of color, culture, and community—blending age-old customs with joyful chaos.
🪔 Pre-Wedding Ceremonies
Rokka
This is where it all begins—when both families officially say yes. Gifts are exchanged, sweets are shared, and the couple is now “reserved” for each other.
Kurmai (Engagement)
The bride is adorned in a traditional phulkari, jewelry gifted by the groom’s family, and a tikka is placed on the groom’s forehead. Rings are exchanged, and the celebrations begin.
Ladies Sangeet / Dholki
Picture a room full of dancing women, singing folk songs, and doing Giddha late into the night. It’s laughter, dhol beats, and sisterhood in full swing.
Mehndi
Henna designs are drawn on the bride’s hands and feet while songs, bangles, and laughter fill the air. Superstition says—the darker the mehndi, the deeper the love!
Chooda & Kalire
On the wedding morning, red and white bangles (chooda) are gifted by the bride’s maternal uncle. Hanging ornaments (kalire) are tied on them—a symbol of good wishes and, fun fact, used to predict the next bride in line!
Haldi (Vatna)
A turmeric paste is applied to the bride and groom by family members. It’s not just skincare—it’s a glow-up ritual of love and laughter.
Jaggo
Late-night dancing with lit-up brass pots balanced on heads! Families visit neighbors’ homes, dancing and singing—literally waking up the neighborhood with joy.
💍 Wedding Day
Sehra Bandi & Ghodi Chadna
The groom wears his turban and sehra, mounts a decorated horse, and heads to the wedding venue, surrounded by his dancing baraat.
Milni
When the families meet, elders from both sides exchange garlands and gifts—formalizing the union of not just two people but two households.
Varmala & Pheras
In Hindu weddings, the bride and groom exchange floral garlands and circle the sacred fire, taking vows for a lifetime together.
Anand Karaj (Sikh Wedding)
In Sikh traditions, the couple walks around the Guru Granth Sahib four times, taking spiritual vows that bind them as one soul.
Joota Chupai
The bride’s sisters hide the groom’s shoes and demand gifts in return. It’s playful extortion at its cutest!
Post-Wedding Rituals
Vidaai
A teary goodbye as the bride leaves her parental home, throwing rice behind her as blessings for the family she leaves behind.
Griha Pravesh
At the groom’s house, the bride is welcomed with rituals and blessings. She kicks over mustard oil at the entrance—a symbolic gesture to ward off negativity.
Reception & Phera Dalna
The celebrations continue with a grand reception, and the next day, the couple visits the bride’s family again in a sweet return gesture.
