What is a baraat?

The baraat is the groom's wedding procession to the venue, led by his family and friends dancing to the dhol. In Punjabi, Indian and Pakistani weddings it is one of the most photographed moments of the day.

How big it gets is up to you. Two dhol players and a walk to the door, a full Indian band baja, the groom on a decorated horse or in a carriage, a mobile DJ truck, or a tuk tuk for a fun arrival. We also check the venue's rules on music, routes and timings.

Where it works best

  • Step 1

    A meeting point near the venue for the groom's family

  • Step 2

    Dhol players or a band baja to lead the walk

  • Step 3

    The groom on a horse, in a carriage or on the DJ truck

  • Step 4

    Ten to twenty minutes of dancing to the venue doors

  • Step 5

    A handover to the milni or welcome

Tips from our team

  1. 1

    Check the venue's rules first

    Some venues and temples limit music, horses or vehicles near the entrance. Tell us the venue and we check.

  2. 2

    Keep the walk short

    Ten to twenty minutes of dancing is plenty. Longer walks lose energy and eat into the timings for the ceremony.

  3. 3

    Plan the arrival with your photographer

    A clear spot for the horse or truck at the doors gives the best shots.
