Jaggo is a beloved pre-wedding ceremony tradition in Punjabi weddings. Centuries ago before invitation stationary and electricity, the bride and groom’s relatives would walk through the village, carrying pots on their heads with oil candles inside, singing songs to inform and invite the villagers to the wedding. Jaggo literally translates to “wake-up!” Today it’s a pre-wedding celebration, full of song, dance, amazing food, fun and laughter!

Maiyan Family and friends rub a mixture of mustard oil, Tumeric and flour mix on the bride/groom’s face, arms, hands and feet. The Maiyan ceremony is a playful and cheeky affair when relatives will often mischievously apply the mixture on every available body part! Traditionally, ladies sing jovial folk songs to enhance the celebratory atmosphere! Mehndi Otherwise known as henna, is a paste associated with positive spirits and good luck. Indian Wedding tradition calls for a Mehndi ceremony to be held the day before the wedding as a way of wishing the bride good health and prosperity as she makes her journey on to marriage.
