Question

The Sangeet

Answer

"Sangeet" is derived from the Sanskrit language and translates to music! The Sangeet is a traditional pre-wedding celebration that includes food, performances and dancing. A vibrant and colorful event that brings both of the groom and the brides' family and friends together before the wedding. We encourage our guests to wear traditional Indian clothing if comfortable!
