After the baraat, the guests are now at the ceremony cite and will get situated for the Anand Karaj. Guests will need to remove their shoes and cover their heads for the Sikh wedding ceremony. A space will be provided to place your shoes. Please bring a cloth, shawl, etc., to cover your head. If you forget one, we'll have a few head coverings there. It is custom to sit on the ground during the ceremony, but chairs will be provided to the elderly and those seeking accommodations for any reason, no questions asked. This will be outside, weather permitting, so dress accordingly!
