One Sikh wedding, three days — the Anand Karaj
February 2024: getting ready, Pagri and Sehra Bandi, the Baraat and Milni, the four Laavan, Langar, the Doli, and couple portraits in the fields.
The same family — Haldi, Maiyan & Jaggo
The day before: Haldi on a pink-and-yellow drape, the groom's Vatna, phulkari portraits outdoors, and a Jaggo night at the hall.
…and the reception
Lavender lehenga and a teal sherwani, a gold peacock-arch stage, and photos with every family.
The wedding day — Anand Karaj at the Gurdwara
Getting ready, the Baraat and Milni, the four Laavan in the Darbar Sahib, Langar and the Doli.
The night before — Maiyan, Chooda & Jaggo
Turmeric Maiyan in the backyard, the Chooda ceremony, phulkari portraits, and Jaggo nights at home and at the hall.
The reception
Grand entry, first dance, stage photos with every family, and a full dance floor.
Sikh & Punjabi family celebrations
Anniversaries, birthdays and family parties — turbans, bhangra, family portraits and Punjabi food.

Respectful in the Darbar Sahib
Heads covered, shoes off, no running around. We stay to the side, follow the Granthi Ji and sangat, and never block the Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

Milni, Ardas, Hukamnama, the four Laavan, Kirtan and the family blessings, plus the Doli.

The four Laavan, each one covered
Wide and close angles for every round, so the film follows the couple around the Guru Granth Sahib Ji without anyone stepping in the way.
The first round: duties of married life and devotion.
The second round: meeting the True Guru, ego let go.
The third round: love and detachment, in the sangat.
The fourth round: peace and union with the Divine.
