Question

What is an Anand Karaj?

Answer

Anand Karaj translates to "blissful union" and is the Sikh wedding ceremony. During the ceremony, the couple takes four rounds or "lavan" around the Guru Granth Sahib, which is the Sikh holy scripture. The four rounds symbolize their union and shared journey. Guests of all backgrounds are welcome to attend the Anand Karaj. We ask that everyone dress modestly and cover their head as a sign of respect inside the Gurdwara. Head coverings will be available if you need one. We recommend arriving on time because tea and snacks will be served before the ceremony and lunch will be served after.

Question

Answer

You are welcome to wear whatever makes you feel the most comfortable and confident! If you are so inclined to wear Desi clothes, Priya's recommendations for South Asian attire include: - Ready To Wear collection from Zara Shahjahan (ships quickly, reasonably priced) - Pernia's Pop Up Shop (shipping time varies, wider price range) - Lashkaraa (ships quickly, reasonably priced) - Mirraw (ships quickly, reasonably priced, risky sizing) - TheLoom.in (cannot speak for variables such as shipping or sizing, order at your own risk) If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out to Priya! She is happy to help you with anything you need or answer any questions you may have.
