Today we will have a glimpse of the Sikh Wedding Invitations but before that let us have one thing clear in our mind that here we will be talking about Sikh and not Punjabi. Now the question arises what the difference is?
So let’s clarify that first Punjabi’s are the people from Punjab which is a state in India as the other states, the language is spoken there in Punjabi and Sikhism is a religion and to the co-incidence, this religion was founded in Punjab by Sri Guru Nanak Ji. If this was found in any other state, then the Sikh’s would have spoken other language as well.
So these two words – Sikhs and Punjabi’s often act as asynonym to each other.
The Rituals,Customs of Sikh Wedding
The Sikhs are far ahead in the race when it comes to the wedding. You get to see the pomp and show, fantastic décor, exotic menu, bright and bold tints and loud and energizing music to dance.Moreover, along with this, there isa long list of rituals.
