We provide singing services for traditional Indian wedding (Indian Marriage) and folk songs. We cater for: Weddings, Mehandi night, Ladies sangeet, Engagement, Chhatti/baby showers and Wedding Anniversary. Traditional wedding songs are integral part of Hindu weddings. Typically a Hindu wedding spans over many days with many rituals, customs and elaborate celebrations both in the bride and groom’s family. Some are pre-wedding, some during the wedding and some post-wedding rituals. There are traditional songs (geet) for every ritual and occasion. At the homes of the bride and groom, the women relatives and friends play the dholak, sing and dance for days leading up to wedding and during the wedding. The pre-wedding rituals include- phaldan/chhenka/sagai/mangni/engagement, tilak, haldi (ubton), mehandi, mandap (marwa), matkor- pooja. After mangni, geet becomes a daily occurance in both families. Some of the songs sung include: Nachari- Shiv –Parvati songs (bhojpuri songs).   Jhumar- as the word suggests masti wale geet, mentioning saas, nanad, devar, sasur.   Sahanna- are various songs for banna (groom) and banni (bride). These songs generally describe the beauty, emotions and feelings of both.  Haldi songs Mandap/Marwa songs During and after the wedding, nachari, sindurdan and then kohbar songs are sung. Kohbar is a room decorated especially for post wedding rituals and it is also the wedding night suite for the newlyweds. One wall is painted with picture of bamboo and purayn (a waterplant) - both these items are symbol of growth and fertility. Painting is only done by a married sister or aunt. Rituals in the kohbar include game playing by newlyweds. There are songs for vidaai too. These are sad songs describing the parents’ and bride’s emotions. Some of vidaai geet actually teach the bride manners and etiquette to be followed in Sasural.
