Our wedding begins with Ganesh Poojan, inviting divine blessings to guide the celebrations ahead amidst soft chants, incense, and marigold. As night falls, DJ Night takes over — Bollywood beats, Himachali folk tunes, and non-stop dancing bring the family together in pure celebration. Next comes Mama Swagat, a warm and respectful welcome of the groom's maternal uncle and his family, honoring the deep bond of maternal ties cherished in every Himachali wedding. Finally, Saand marks a vibrant pre-wedding ritual where the groom is adorned and blessed by the women of the family, set to music, laughter, and festive spirit — a beautiful beginning to the days of celebration ahead.

The celebrations continue with Sehra Bandi, a quietly powerful moment where the groom's elders tie his sehra, marking his transformation before an emotional, blessing-filled hush. Soon after, the Departure of Barat begins — a spirited procession with dhol beats, dancing relatives, and joyful chaos, winding through the hills of Hamirpur toward the bride's home. As the baraat arrives, Vadhu Parvesh follows — the bride's graceful entry into her new home, welcomed with heartfelt rituals and blessings from her new family. The day concludes with Dham, a traditional Himachali feast prepared by local cooks (botis) using generations-old recipes, served on leaf plates — a wholesome, flavorful taste of our mountain heritage.
