Sangeet:

May 10, 2019
6:30pm


Join us for a celebration of dancing, music, and food the night before the big day.

The word Sangeet translates to ‘sung together’ from Sanskrit. ‘Gaun’, another word used to describe the event, means ‘songs’ or ‘to sing’ in Hindi.

Connecting the two families to each other, this pre-wedding celebration includes song and dance performed by relatives and friends of the Bride and Groom, and an open dance floor to commemorate the festivities for the following day.

If you would like to wear Indian clothing to an event, this would be a great one! There will also be opportunities to get mendhi (henna) done at this event.
