The sangeet
The beaming bride to be, originally uploaded by nikitamehta.
The night before the wedding, the family of the bride gets together for one last time for a night of enjoyment with song and dance.
This is the night where we also pray that the bride will be happy in her new home, and that the parents are able to overcome the sadness of their daughter being far away from her.
This is a very emotionally charged night.
