Seen as a women centric event, Sangeet is probably the most fun Hindu pre wedding ceremony. Traditionally, the Sangeet Ceremonies should be a part of the formal engagement event, however in recent times, it is conducted individually. Thus the fun of wedding extends one more day with this celebration. Earlier sangeet ceremonies were only the part of North Indian Hindu wedding, now this fun event has made its presence felt even in South India. It is worth noting that not only this event is fun but also wedding planners swear by it stating it truly help the two sides forget about the wedding jitters for sometime. Therefore, one can see that special themes are chosen for this occasion and dance performances are prepared.

The best and the most vibrant of all the events; it serves perfectly to the platter of wedding events and rituals.

Traditional songs for bride and groom are prepared and sung to mark the union of the couple and bless them for their togetherness. In earlier times, the sangeet function used to last for 8 to 10 days. Ladies used to sing in unison to the tune of the dhol with the bride and groom as the focal point.

Songs certainly hold a lot of significance because majorly it aims at couples in a fun and emotional way. There are few songs and dance sequences performed by a family that straight away target the couple and close family members in a fun way. Laung Gawacha, Lathe Di Chadar, Kaala Doriyan , Mere Haathon Me Nau Nau Chooriyan and other yesteryear songs are sung or played for the leg-pulling sessions. Songs implying the cruel mother-in-law, supportive brother-in-law and quarrelling sister-in-law (all for fun and jest ofcourse) are played or sung to make the sangeet cool and careless affair. So, sangeet songs give immense scope for all kinds of expressions.
A glam decor is a must to make the gala musical affair appear even more hatke, enthusiastic and epic. A trendy and quirky decor adds to the celebratory mode. Fairy lights, bulbs, colourful streamers, drapes, decorated umbrellas are used to adorn the sangeet venue and stage. It’s all upto the family and their budget to make it fanciful and outstanding. It’s a night-long madness and everyone would love to kick-start the concert (that’s how it is these days) in a drool-worthy.
