Marriage!!...a time for everyone to rejoice and make merry. Also the time for family and friends to celebrate and be the part of the joy of this Special Occassion.

Soor Sangam Musicals has rich experience in Lagna Geet. We have performed at various Hindu and Jain wedding functions of the ‘who’s who’ in India.
In addition to the traditional wedding songs, We have conducted events in which the entire 'widhi' comprising of ‘Shlokas and ‘Vedic’ chants was rendered musically while the priest performed it. This was widely appreciated and has since gained lot of acceptance amongst modern marriage ceremonies.

What is Navratri?

The most common form of public celebration is the performance of garba or dandia-ras, Gujarat's popular folk-dance, late throughout the nights of these nine days in public squares, open grounds and streets. Women wear ethnic Chania Choli and Men wear Dhoti-Kurta and enjoy garba and dandiya ras (dance) the whole Night. The participants move round in a circle around a mandvi (garbo), a structure to hold earthen lamps filled with water and to house the image or idol of mother goddess. A betel nut and a silver coin are placed within the pot, called a kumbh, on top of which a coconut has also been placed. Pandals are erected over these madvis and decorated with asopalav, date palm leaves, flowers and electric light. As the dancers whirl around the pot, a singer and a drummer provide the musical accompaniment. The participants clap in a steady rhythm. The dance usually starts slowly. It gets faster and faster as the music too gets more rapid until the dance abruptly comes to a halt. There is a pause for a while and the dance commences once again, the singer leading with a new song.

Another dance which is also a feature of Navaratri is the dandia-ras or ‘stick’ dance, in which men and women join the dance circle, holding small polished sticks or dandias. As they whirl to the intoxicating rhythm of the dance, men and women strike the dandias together, adding to the joyous atmosphere. So popular are the garba and the dandia-ras that competitions are held to assess the quality of the dancing. Prizes are given to those judged to be the best. The costumes worn for the dances are traditional and alive with colour. The dances usually commence late in the night and continue until early morning, testifying to their great popularity.
