Sangeet and Dance before the Hindu Wedding
A few days before the Hindu wedding, 'sangeet', which is a singing session, is arranged at the groom and bride's places. The ceremony is attended by relatives and friends, mostly ladies, in the evenings. Background music of 'Shehnai', the flute, as was widely practised in olden times, may also be played, which is very auspicious for the Hindu wedding. Bhangra dance by men and Giddha dance by ladies are good attractions for the ceremonies in North India. In different parts of India, there are different types of dances performed before and at the Hindu wedding.
Some families take the services of people who are professional and quite often invited to sing at Sangeet gatherings. When no one is available to fill the gap between songs, and some family members or friends present are reluctant to join in the singing, these professionals keep the chorus going. It is very joyful to be there and usually people present join in to sing and dance together. Go online and try indian dating to join the singing chorus at Sangeet and Dance.
In times gone by, Hindu wedding was performed in different ways. The purest and most prevalent method was the 'Brahma' way. In this type of Hindu wedding, the girl was given away by her father with dowry consisting of ornaments that he could afford to a known man of good character. Even these days, this 'Brahma' (Brahman like) way of Hindu wedding is the accepted and most prevalent method to perform a Hindu wedding.
