The preparations can start months in advance, and the festivities typically last 3 to 4 days. Indian marriages are fun, with several rituals, ceremonies, and customs that blow life to weddings. But one wedding in India that is most about celebrating marriage with music, dance, and food is the <a href=\"https:\/\/thevivaan.com\/banquet-halls-and-wedding-venues-in-karnal\/\">Punjabi wedding<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Punjabi wedding is always pictured as a loud, lavish ceremony filled with food, fun, music, and dancing. However, more than its party vibes, the Punjabi shaadi is rooted in traditions and rituals that have been followed for thousands of years. And while you might know some of them like the Roka and Chooda ceremonies, a lot of rituals are still unpopular to people. Punjabi shaadi is a profound celebration of love, family, and cultural traditions that bring together friends and relatives in joyful unity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this article, we are covering an <strong>A-Z guide on Punjabi wedding rituals<\/strong> that you must know. Whether you are participating in your friend\u2019s marriage or you are getting married to a Punjabi, this information about rituals and ceremonies will help you to save yourself from awkwardness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Roka and Thaka (Parental Acceptance)<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to choosing a life partner, parents&#8217; blessings are most crucial, regardless that the marriage is arranged by parents or the bride and the groom choose each other by themselves. The first ceremony in Punjabi traditions is the Roka and Thaka ceremony, in which the parents of both bride and groom bless them showing their consent for the marriage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The term \u201c<\/span><b>Roka<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d itself carries significance, as it quite literally means \u201cto stop.\u201d This ceremony officially confirms the alliance and after this ceremony, the bride and the groom are no longer open to meet new prospective matches. In this ritual, the bride\u2019s father visits the groom\u2019s house and offers his blessing by applying a tilak on his forehead. He also gives him gifts, sweets, clothing, and money. Traditionally, it is done in the absence of the bride.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Thaka<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, in the same way, is done by the groom\u2019s family to accept the girl as their new family member. The groom\u2019s parents offer their blessing to the girl with gifts, sweets, clothes, jewelry, and money. After the ceremony, the girl is no longer available for marriage offers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Chunni Ceremony<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Chunni ceremony is quite similar to Thaka. In the Chunni ceremony, the groom\u2019s mother and her relative visit the bride\u2019s house and put \u2018<\/span><b>Shagun ki Chunni<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019 or a red scarf or <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dupatta <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">on the bride\u2019s head. The dupatta, or head scarf, is draped over the bride&#8217;s head, serving as a veil to cover her face. This ritual is known as <\/span><b>chunni chadana<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The groom\u2019s mother also showers the bride with gifts, jewelry, and clothes as a token of acceptance as the fianc\u00e9e of her son.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Kurmai or Mangni\/Sagai<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Often held on the same day of the \u2018Chunni\u2019 ceremony, the Sagai, also known as the Kurmai ritual marks the official engagement of the couple along with their families, relatives, and guests.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The bride and groom exchange rings, seek the blessing of the elders and receive gifts from everyone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Kurmai typically occurs at the Sikh temple, known as the gurdwara, where the priest, or <\/span><b>Granthi,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> begins the ceremony with a prayer. The family of the bride presents the groom with two gifts: a Kara and a small knife. They then drape a red scarf over his shoulders and around his neck while the bride\u2019s grandfather feeds him some dried dates, following the Granthi\u2019s instructions. After this, the couple exchange rings, hence completing the Sagai ceremony.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Sangeet or Dholki\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Sangeet (or Dholki) is about fun, celebration, dance, and music. Previously, this ceremony used to be limited to women of the family only, however, now, it is a a full family affair. Nowadays, both the bride\u2019s and groom\u2019s families come together and dance, play games, enjoy themselves, and get to know each other\u2019s families. And since it is a Punjabi shaadi, mouth-savoring food and drinks are a must.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Ardas (Offering of prayers)<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the weeks leading up to the wedding celebrations, the couple&#8217;s families, along with the bride and groom, typically visit the gurudwara to offer their prayers. As the big day approaches, these prayers usually become a daily tradition.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Karahi Chadana (Sharing of Food)<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A large Karahi or Wok will be placed at the center of the kitchen by Sikh families just five days before the wedding. During the entire five-day event, all sweet and savory meals will be cooked in that Karahi for everyone to enjoy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Mehndi (Application of Henna)<\/b><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_406\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-406\" style=\"width: 672px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-406\" src=\"https:\/\/thevivaan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Mehndi-300x150.png\" alt=\"Mehndi\" width=\"672\" height=\"336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thevivaan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Mehndi-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/thevivaan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Mehndi-1024x512.png 1024w, https:\/\/thevivaan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Mehndi-768x384.png 768w, https:\/\/thevivaan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Mehndi.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-406\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mehndi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mehendi is an essential part of most Indian weddings, which is hard to miss. Usually,\u00a0 the Mehendi ceremony is celebrated on the same day as Sangeet. In this ceremony, the bride\u2019s hands and feet are adorned with a Mehendi design. Mehendi (Henna) is considered a symbol of good luck and is believed to bring prosperity to newlyweds. The groom also participates in the ceremony and applies henna on his hands to show love and commitment to the relationship.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Mayian or Haldi Ceremony<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ceremony can occur a day before the wedding or on the morning of the event itself. Punjabi wedding ceremonies are typically held separately at the homes of the bride and groom, though they are sometimes combined.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the occasion, the women of the household apply a blend of rosewater, turmeric, sandalwood, and mustard oil to the visible areas of the bride and groom&#8217;s bodies. The modern haldi ceremonies are lively and full of joy, dancing, and celebration!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Ghara Ghardoli<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Ghara Gharoli ceremony takes place on the wedding day. The bride&#8217;s sister-in-law goes to a local temple to collect holy water in a clay pot. The bride then bathes in this water, which is thought to cleanse and prepare her for the Hindu Punjabi wedding rituals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A similar ceremony occurs at the groom\u2019s house, here his sister-in-law carries out the same ritual. These ceremonies represent that the couple is spiritually ready for their marital life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Kangana Bandhna Ritual<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On marriage day, a sacred thread or mouli is tied on the bride\u2019s and groom\u2019s hands in their own house respectively.\u00a0 The thread is tied with a betel nut, a coin, and some rice and this ritual is compulsory among Punjabis as it is considered a lucky charm to ward off evil.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Chooda Chadana<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chooda Chadhana is one of the crucial Punjabi wedding rituals for the bride. The ceremony involves a havan, with all family members participating in this ritual. The bride&#8217;s maternal uncle, known as \u2018Mama,\u2019 along with his wife, presents the bride with a set of 21 bangles, typically in red and ivory.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Initially, these bangles are purified using milk and rose petals, after which the uncle places them on his niece&#8217;s wrist. However, they are immediately covered with a white cloth, as it is considered unlucky for the bride to see the bangles before the wedding begins. Traditionally, a bride wears these bangles for a month following her wedding.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kalire ceremony is celebrated along with chooda chadhana ceremony. In this ceremony, Kalire (golden ornaments) are tied to the bride\u2019s Chooda by her sisters and friends. It is believed that if a Kalire falls on someone\u2019s head, she is the next one to get married.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Sehrabandi\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next on the Punjabi wedding rituals list is Sehrabandi where a headdress with garlands in front is worn by the groom. The groom\u2019s sister ties the Sehra to the turban after he gets dressed for the wedding ceremony. After Sehra, the groom\u2019s sister also applies Surma (Kohl) on the groom\u2019s forehead to ward off the evil eye.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Ghodi Charna<\/b><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_399\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-399\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-399\" src=\"https:\/\/thevivaan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Ghodi-Charna-300x150.png\" alt=\"Ghodi Charna\" width=\"560\" height=\"280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thevivaan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Ghodi-Charna-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/thevivaan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Ghodi-Charna-1024x512.png 1024w, https:\/\/thevivaan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Ghodi-Charna-768x384.png 768w, https:\/\/thevivaan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Ghodi-Charna.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-399\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ghodi Charna<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this ritual, the groom mounts on a beautifully decorated horse to reach the wedding venue. Nowadays, the horse is replaced by a car. The groom\u2019s family and friends dance around him to the beat of the dhol (a traditional Punjabi drum) and music during the \u2018baaraat\u2019 procession.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Punjabi Wedding Main Rituals<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><b>1) Agwaani\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Agwaani or welcoming the Baaraat is done by the the bride\u2019s family.

Then he is served with Madhuparka, a sharbat of ghee, curd, milk, honey, and a few other holy essences to drink.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4) Kanyadaan (Giving of the Bride)<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-403 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/thevivaan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Kanyadaan-300x150.png\" alt=\"Kanyadaan\" width=\"796\" height=\"398\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thevivaan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Kanyadaan-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/thevivaan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Kanyadaan-1024x512.png 1024w, https:\/\/thevivaan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Kanyadaan-768x384.png 768w, https:\/\/thevivaan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Kanyadaan.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 796px) 100vw, 796px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During this Punjabi wedding ritual, the bride\u2019s father accepts the groom through traditional Vedic mantras, gives the bride\u2019s hand to the groom, and asks him to take care of her always.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>5) Phere<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like most Indian weddings, Punjabis too have saat phere. The couple takes seven circles around the havan (sacred fire) while the priest recites <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mantras<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
