Description of Events

Baraat - Simar, along with his family & friends, parade to the wedding with music, dancing, & laughter.

Milni - Monica's family & friends wait at the Gurdwara to welcome the baraat. The families embrace as a symbol of their union.

Anand Karaj - "Anand Karaj" is the name given to the Sikh wedding ceremony, literally translated as "Blissful Event." The bride & groom sit in front of the sacred book, The Guru Granth Sahib, during hymns & prayers. The couple is considered married after the Laavan (vows) when they circle the Guru Granth Sahib four times.

Doli- The doli ritual is the final phase of the Sikh wedding. This is when the bride’s parents and relatives bid their farewells to the new couple as they start their married life.
