Vatna Ceremony – Sikh Wedding Video

Here is the first part of Bhupinder’s Vatna/Maiya Ceremony filmed by Beautiful Life in Leicester. The Vatna ceremony is all about preparing the Bride and Groom for married life. I love the colours and Vatna Ceremonies always make beautiful films. This video covers the preparations, arrivals and Vatna/Maiya Ceremony of the Groom.

Vatna Ceremony Explained

A Vatna is where the couple’s families rub yellow tumeric paste onto their legs, face, and arms while they sit on a patri (a special red board with embroidery). This takes place under a special redd cloth held by four women. The ceremony is done to cleanse and balance the body and get them ready for married life. There is always rangoli in front of where the groom or bride is seated. The mother will clean the rangoli, mix it up with water, and put it on the front walls of the house with her hand. It is said that the longer this lasts, the more love the mother has for her son or daughter.

Pre-Wedding Video

Here is Bhupinders Sikh pre-wedding Video (Jaggo) which took place in Leicester. This video is just the highlights from the evening which lasts about 6 mins. All the dancing was filmed (with original sound) but there is too much to upload so I will upload a few minutes worth soon.

The Ceremony of Jaggo

The ceremony of Jaggo is an event which close relatives and freinds are invited. This takes place at night some nights before the wedding day. A copper vessel is decorated (called gaffar, with diyas (lamps) made of atta (wheat flour) and another one of the ladies carries a long stick with ghungroos (small bells) tied to it. The ladies sing and perform a traditional dance called the giddha. Usually the mehendi and sangeet ceremony follows that of jaggo. This is an occasion for celebration with all family and friends being invited. Mehendi is applied on the bride’s hands and the other girls of the family too apply mehendi.

I will be uploading Bhupinder’s Mehendi Ceremony soon.

Mehndi Ceremony Highlights

Here are the Highlights of a Sikh wedding Video ceremony which I filmed in London in the summer. I find Sikh, Asian, Hindu and Muslim weddings Videos to be the most challenging and exciting films I make. The pace is so different and the colours and vibrancy of the ceremonies help us to create some amazing films. Our approach to Asian Wedding Videos is contemporary, stylish and elegant.

Our fresh and creative approach to Asian wedding videos can be seen in our examples and our coverage includes Chura Ceremony, Maayiaa, Ladies Sangeet, Mehendi/Vatna Ceremonies, Doli and Jaggo nights.
