Question

What is a Sangeet and what should I wear?

Answer

A Sangeet is a joyful pre-wedding celebration in Indian culture, particularly prevalent in Hindu and Sikh weddings. The word "Sangeet" means "music," and this event is all about celebrating the union of the bride and groom through music, dance, and festive cheer. Traditionally, the Sangeet was an event where female relatives and friends would gather to sing folk songs, but modern Sangeets have evolved into elaborate events often involving both families, professional performances, and choreographed dances. Indian attire is encouraged by not required. Some examples for Indian attired that can be worn for Women: Lehenga Choli: A traditional three-piece outfit consisting of a skirt (lehenga), blouse (choli), and a dupatta (scarf). Opt for vibrant colors, intricate embroidery, and embellishments. Saree: A classic and elegant option, a saree can be draped in various styles. Choose rich fabrics like silk or chiffon with decorative borders. Anarkali Suit: A long, frock-style top paired with slim-fitted bottoms and a dupatta. It's comfortable yet stylish and ideal for dancing. For Men: Sherwani: A long coat-like garment, usually worn over a kurta and churidar (fitted pants). It is often embellished with embroidery. Kurta Pajama: A more casual option, consisting of a long tunic (kurta) and loose-fitting trousers (pajama). Choose bright colors and rich fabrics for a festive look. Jodhpuri Suit: A formal and regal option, this is a suit with a closed-neck jacket, often worn with trousers.
