Big weddings, big hearts · Amritsar, Ludhiana and Jalandhar
Punjab is India’s land of five rivers, famous for lavish weddings, bhangra, the Golden Temple and a love of live music that few places match.
Punjab
Amritsar has an international airport and Ludhiana is on the main rail line; the band usually flies to Amritsar or Chandigarh and drives.
Punjab is the granary of India and a state with a character all its own: generous, loud, hospitable and fond of a celebration. Its weddings are among the biggest in the country, with a ladies’ sangeet, a baraat that dances through the street behind a dhol, a late-night reception and several days of rituals. Families abroad in Canada, the UK and Australia fly home to marry, adding to the scale.
Music defines the state. Bhangra and giddha are danced at every celebration, Sufi poets such as Bulleh Shah and Baba Farid are sung in the villages, Gurbani kirtan fills the gurdwaras, and modern Punjabi pop has carried the language across the world. A singer of Hindi film songs and Sufi music is welcome, and a few Punjabi numbers always bring the floor alive.
Punjabi hosts are generous and want the programme to match. The usual plan is a warm opening, a stretch of romantic and Sufi songs for the dinner and a long closing session of dance hits. Winter weddings are booked early, and fog on winter nights can delay travel, so the band arrives with a margin.
Lohri in January, Baisakhi in April, the Hola Mohalla at Anandpur Sahib in March, Diwali, Gurpurab and Teeyan, the women’s festival of the monsoon, set the cultural calendar. Weddings run through the cool months, and the cities hold large fairs and cultural nights. Summers are fierce, so events move to the evening.
Expect a late start, a long evening and a demand for energy. Guests appreciate a performer who respects the gurdwara customs of the family, covers the head where required and handles the evening’s alcohol and food with grace.
A Punjab wedding asks for Punjabi songs in at least one block. A balanced set might open with Sufi numbers such as Ranjha Ranjha and Heer, move to Hindi romantic songs such as Tum Hi Ho, and close with the dance staples: Mauja Hi Mauja, Tunak Tunak Tun and the bhangra hits of the party floor. A ladies’ sangeet asks for giddha boliyan and Punjabi folk songs.
Punjab’s celebrations cluster around three cities. Amritsar has the international airport and the farmhouses along the Majitha and Ajnala roads; Jalandhar, an hour away, is the heart of the diaspora; and Ludhiana, two hours south, has the largest banquet halls. Chandigarh, outside the state but at its edge, often serves as the arrival airport.
Winter is the main season, and its fog delays flights and roads, so the band arrives a day early. Farmhouse weddings need generators, heaters and a covered stage. A band booked for one Punjab wedding can often take a second in a neighbouring city on the next day.
