The word “Sangeet “ means "Musical Night" or "Musical Party". It is a term used to describe a pre-ceremony event in an Indian wedding, during which the union of not only the couple but also the bonding of both families is celebrated. Expect lots of music, dancing, games, good food and company :) Mehndi: Also known as henna, is a pre-wedding celebration that involves applying henna patterns to the body.
