What is a Jago?
The jago (or jaggo) is the Punjabi pre-wedding night when the nanke, the bride or groom's mother's family, carry a decorated gagar lit with diyas through the street, singing boliyan and dancing to the dhol. It is noisy, joyful and usually goes on late.
Many families now hold the jago at home, in a marquee or in a hired hall, often on the same night as the mehndi. We put together the parts that make it: dhol players to lead the walk, folk singers for boliyan, giddha and bhangra dancers to get everyone moving, and a DJ to carry the party on.

Tips from our team
- 1
Plan the walk with neighbours in mind
A jago walk is loud. Agree the route and timing, and let neighbours know, especially for late starts at home.
- 2
Give the nanke the spotlight
The gagar walk is their moment. Have the dhol meet them at the door so the entrance feels like an occasion.
- 3
Keep boliyan live
Folk singers and a dholki turn boliyan into a call and response the whole family joins in.
Frequently asked questions
Which venues near Farnborough can hold a large Asian wedding?
On our list, Ascot Racecourse (up to 550 guests), Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire (up to 500 guests) and Easthampstead Park Hotel (up to 480 guests) can take 400 or more guests. Tell us your venue and numbers and we will plan Jago entertainment around the space.
Do venues around Farnborough have sound limits for dhol or music?
Some do. Froyle Park: Dhol players may only play for 10 minutes here, with a maximum of two dhol players. Plan one tight, high-energy set. Tell us your venue and we will check its rules before we confirm.
Which postcodes around Farnborough do you cover?
All of GU14 and GU51, including Fleet, Elvetham Heath and Crookham Village, plus the rest of Hampshire and nearby Aldershot, Camberley, Sandhurst and Farnham.
What happens at a jago?
The maternal family arrive carrying a decorated pot (gagar) lit with diyas, singing boliyan, and the night turns into dancing with dhol, giddha and bhangra. Traditions vary between families, so tell us how yours does it.
Can we hold a jago at home?
Yes, many families do. Dhol outside can be loud, so we talk through timings and the route for the walk with you.
Can the jago and mehndi be on the same night?
Yes, it is common. We plan one line-up that covers both, for example folk singing while the henna goes on, then the jago walk and dancing.
Still have questions?
