The wedding

Sangeet

The music-and-dance evening before a North Indian wedding, now often the biggest event of the week.

The sangeet was once the women of the bride's family singing wedding songs; it is now an evening with choreographed dances from both families, a DJ and a dinner, often held the night before the wedding. Gujarati families have the garba night in its place.

For NRI weddings it is often the event that friends fly in for.
