For our guests
The Anand Karaj ("Blissful Union") takes place in a Gurdwara. It is a warm, joyful and welcoming ceremony — here are a few gentle notes so you feel right at home:
The heart of the ceremony
An Anand Karaj has no spoken vows. Instead, the marriage is sealed through the Laavan — four wedding hymns sung by the raagis. After each hymn, Varun and Jasmine walk slowly and clockwise around the Guru Granth Sahib, the Sikh holy scripture, with the Guru as their witness. Varun leads and Jasmine follows, the two joined by the palla — a length of scarf passed from the groom to the bride — so they circle as one. Each round, or laav, marks a step in the journey they begin together.
The first round is a vow to build married life on righteous living and on remembrance of the Divine — the ground everything else stands upon.
The second deepens that bond into love and wonder, as the ego dissolves and the couple draws nearer to the Divine and to one another.
The third fills the heart with divine love, nurtured in the company of the holy — a love that rises above the everyday.
In the fourth and final round, harmony is reached: two souls settle into peace and blend, as the Sikh phrase goes, into “one light in two bodies.”
You are warmly invited to simply sit, listen, and share in the calm. No prior knowledge is needed — being here with us is the whole gift.
Counting down to the Anand Karaj
A little something
What to wear
Festive Indian attire is warmly encouraged across all events. Here's the vibe — and a colour cue — for each day.
Wed, 30 Sept · Sangeet
Dress to dance — vibrant lehengas, sharp suits, bold colour and a little sparkle.
Thu, 1 Oct · Haldi & Mehndi
Light, breezy and colourful — yellows, oranges and florals. Heads-up: haldi can stain, so wear something you don't mind.
Fri, 2 Oct · Anand Karaj
Graceful, covered attire for the Gurdwara; head covering required (provided). Soft, refined tones.
Sat, 3 Oct · Reception
Bring out the showstoppers — formal gowns, suits and your finest Indian formalwear for a night at Chandni Victoria.
A gentle note — please avoid white or ivory at the wedding events, and don't be shy with colour. The more vibrant, the better!

Moments
A few of our favourites — more to come after the celebrations.
Your presence is the present
Your blessings mean the world to us. Should you wish to give a gift, a few options are below.
A registry link will be shared here soon.
Details for contributing to our honeymoon will be shared here soon.
By tradition, shagun is a gift of cash in a card, offered with both hands as a blessing. Many choose an amount ending in 1 — such as $101 or $251 — the extra dollar a wish that good fortune never ends.
Cards & shagun are warmly received at the reception; if we set up an e‑transfer address, it will be shared here.
Good to know
Festive Indian attire is warmly encouraged at every event. See our Dress Code & Colours guide for the vibe and a colour cue per day. Please avoid white or ivory at the wedding events, and dress modestly (head covered) for the Anand Karaj.
We're finalising the details and will confirm here soon. If you have questions about bringing little ones in the meantime, please give us a call or text.
The ceremony takes place in a Gurdwara — heads covered, shoes off, modest dress, seated on the floor, followed by langar (a shared meal). Full details are in The Anand Karaj section above.
Personal photos are welcome at most of our celebrations. During the Anand Karaj, we kindly ask you to be discreet and to follow any guidance from the Gurdwara and our photographer, so everyone can stay present in the moment.
Your presence is truly the gift — please don't feel any obligation. Should you wish to give, cash shagun in a card is the lovely tradition, offered with both hands. Many choose an amount ending in 1 (for example $101 or $251), where the extra dollar carries a wish of never-ending good fortune; the amount is always personal and entirely up to you. Any registry, honeymoon-fund or e‑transfer details will appear under Gifts & Registry.
