El Sangeet


The festivities started on a Thursday, and basically carried on through Sunday morning. The Thursday event was very cool. I had just flown in from Mexico City into DC. I had never been to a Sangeet before, but I had heard that the live performances were worth it, especially because most of these were by family members demonstrating their joy and happiness for the wedding about to take place.

The Sangeet is a colourful evening of music, dance and celebration. It is usually held within a week or two of the wedding. But at Jorge and Malini's wedding, the event took place on Thursday night, 48 hours before the big day. The families chose to hold one large party together. The Sangeet included awesome Indian food.

This is a picture of the bride and the groom as their friends and family dance before them. Importantly, later that evening, they too demonstrated their dancing capabilities.
