 The Sikh Wedding |
|
Enlarge
|
Though Sikhs follow several Punjabi marriage customs, their marriage rites are performed through Anand Karaj. According to popular tradition the Anand.form of marriage was popularised by Guru Ram Das, the fourth Guru, who composed the hymns called Lavan for the purpose of solemnising Sikh weddings. The Anand form of marriage got legal sanction through the passage of the Anand marriage Bill in the Imperial Legislative Council in 1909.
After fixing a suitable match negotiations are finalised through a simple ceremony called Roka, which is performed in the presence of the Guru Granth Sahib. Thereafter, a suitable date for marriage is fixed. Generally a day before the marriage, engagement and ring ceremonies are also performed.
