Sangeet, which literally translates to “music”, is an event typically held a day before the wedding. The night will be filled with food, drinks, dance, music, and vibrant colors. Family and friends of the bride and groom will also be performing choreographed dances throughout the night. In addition, guests will be able to participate in applying Henna (Mehendi) to their hands if they would like. Mehendi represents the holy bond of matrimony and is, therefore, considered a shagun (sign of good luck). It signifies the love and affection between the couple and their families.
10:00 am - 2:00 pm
Formal: Indian Wedding Attire (Lengha/Saris etc) OR Cocktail Dresses ; Indian Sherwani or Kurta OR Jacket with Slacks/Suits
