The Baraat is a fun Indian wedding tradition, involving a procession to the marriage venue of the groom and his family, friends, and groomsmen. This ceremony is commonly practiced in Hindu and Sikh weddings.

The music is traditionally played by either a brass band, or some dhol percussionists. This sets the mood for the entire ceremony – and it is electrifying!

In its essence, the baraat is meant to spread happiness. The groom’s family and friends celebrate his joy on his wedding day.
