Punjabi First Dance Songs - Wedding Maps
September 16, 2020
While most couples plan their weddings and receptions around a foundation of culturally unique traditions, some traditions cross cultural lines. One of the most popular instances of this, for example, involves the first dance between the newlyweds. This symbolic dance between a husband and wife often kickstarts the reception and sets the tone for the evening. Even though the first dance has become commonplace, however, first dance songs allow couples to nod to their respective cultures while making the dance their own. You can find a number of first dance song lists online (including here on our site), but the cultural diversity present in these lists sometimes feels limited. For this reason, we decided to compile a unique list of Punjabi first dance songs to help anyone looking to explore this genre while planning a first dance.

Punjabi traditions - harvest dance and wedding garlands
In the Indian state of Punjab and the Pakistani province of the same name, live a bright and interesting people - Punjabis. The traditions of the Punjabis differ to some extent from the habitual customs of the majority of the population of India or Pakistan. Ancient rituals and beliefs are still important for them, and the culture of their ancestors is reverently preserved from century to century.
Interestingly, some holidays of the Punjabis are still held today in the same way as many centuries ago. Even religions (Hinduism and Islam are dominant in the regions) in the Punjabi version have some differences. Which dance has become a symbol of Punjabi culture? What can be seen at weddings in Punjab? And what dishes have become the hallmarks of traditional Punjabi cuisine? nine0005 Punjabi dance bhangra
Bhangra - an ancient dance of the Punjabis
As I immediately noted, the Punjabis live both in India and Pakistan, which leaves its mark on the traditional culture.
The dominant religions of this people are Hinduism and Islam, and it all depends on the region. Most of the Punjabis of Pakistani lands observe Muslim holidays and customs, but the people of the Indian state belong to the ardent adherents of Hindu beliefs.
According to historians, it was the Indian Punjabis who have preserved the special features of their ancient culture, which is successfully combined with the modern rhythm of life and new technologies of our century. nine0005
Probably every people in India has its own distinctive traditional dance. Among the Punjabis, the bhangra has become a symbol of their art, which can rightfully be called the pride of the state of Punjab. Researchers note that the formation of bhangra movements began in the 16th century, and the dance was associated with agricultural rites and the forces of fertility. On my own behalf, I want to note that among the Indian regions, Punjab stands out for its rich soils, which is why it has long been called the “Land of Five Rivers”.
In the old days, after the first harvest of wheat, the men of the villages performed a ritual dance, which they expressed gratitude to the plants, the earth and, of course, the good deities that bestowed upon the workers. Over time, women began to join the performance of bhangra, and the dance became popular not only after the completion of seasonal work, but also at various holidays and festivals. nine0005
If you are interested in Bollywood films, you will easily recognize the bhangra dance in many of the classic films. These are energetic rhythms of music and male dancers, who are dressed in a bright vest, a long white shirt and trousers. The performer's head is always adorned with a red or orange turban adorned with a cloth fan.
Punjabi Traditional DishesSymbols of Punjabi Cuisine
At various celebrations of the Punjabis, you can taste folk dishes that have become popular throughout India today. First of all, these are bean products (they are called dal).
Such dishes are cooked on a slow fire, and in the process of cooking, the beans are sprinkled with spices that make them taste spicy and truly “Indian”. nine0005
Punjabis are accustomed to serving treats along with snacks. Crispy shortcakes or pies, various pickles and marinades are certainly attached to the main dish. Most of the drinks of the people of the Punjab are prepared on the basis of whey or milk with the addition of nuts, ghee, dried fruits. Interestingly, many Punjabi dishes are already several millennia old.
Where can you taste goodies? Of course, at the wedding. Punjabi traditions regarding engagement and marriage are full of ancient rituals that must be observed in our time. In my opinion, it is difficult to find a brighter and more luxurious holiday than a Punjabi wedding. nine0005
Punjabi wedding traditions
The first stage of wedding preparations takes place in the bride's house. When the families have come to an agreement, a roca is held. This ritual involves the exchange of promises.
The girl and the guy swear that they will not consider the proposals of other people - from now on they have made their choice. An obligatory ritual of rock is puja (worship of the gods). Punjabis believe that in this way the future family will attract happiness into their lives.
After some time, the ceremonies are held at the groom's. Relatives come to his house and, most importantly, the father of the bride (in his absence, the uncle or brother of the girl can replace the father). A man performs sagan - a ritual of applying special paint to the groom's forehead. From that moment on, the young man receives a blessing from future relatives. nine0005
Just before the wedding day, the groom comes to the bride's house again. He presents his chosen one with valuable gifts and a red wedding dress. As a rule, Punjabi brides wear a sari or lenga choli (tunic with bloomers and cape). And the next day is marked by Rut Jaga - the performance of traditional songs and dances, with the help of which guests wish love and happiness to the young.
There are many rituals on the wedding day that must be performed strictly. For example, the bride and groom should exchange flower garlands, which forever seals their union. nine0005
After a man puts sindoor (red paint) on a girl's part, she is considered his legal wife. Leaving the parental home, the bride throws back a handful of puffed rice. So she wishes her family good luck and prosperity.
Punjabi weddingPunjabi traditions are rooted in ancient times. Surprisingly, even today in the modern cities of the state, ancient customs seem to be a wonderful decoration of everyday life. The Punjabis love and cherish the culture that their ancestors left them, and, of course, every traveler who has visited their lands feels it. nine0005
Indian dance - Folk music of India
There are two main directions in Indian dance - classical and folk.
Folk dances
India is a large country with a large number of ethnic and linguistic groups.
In this country there is a huge variety and richness of folk music and dances. Each state has its own folk dances. Each dance has its own character, its own costume. The dances of the northern states are very different from the dances of the south. nine0005
The dances of India can undergo quite strong changes even within one state, which is clearly noticeable if you move from north to south or from west to east. In each village, the dialect is somewhat different, and if we compare the language of villages located at a fairly large distance from each other, then this may already be a new dialect. Dancing can also be different.
Yes, most Indians know how to dance their national dances and do it with pleasure, but in India there are almost no professional groups performing folklore dances on stage, so at holidays in the villages, dancers reproduce an arbitrary set of movements, and there are actually no dances with a certain choreography. nine0005
Folk dances of India are closely connected with life cycle events, with natural phenomena.
Birth, marriage, the end of the harvest - these are the most important events accompanied by the performance of dances. Religious themes in folk dances are much less common than in classical ones. The only religious scene often used in folk dances is Krishna's games with cowherd boys.
People in India know how to dance and love it. Many Indians learn some form of classical dance or musical instrument as children, and almost everyone performs folk dances. It is difficult to imagine, for example, a woman from the state of Gujarat who would not be able to dance the national dance with sticks, and not only the Punjabis, but also the majority of the inhabitants of North India dance the incendiary bhangra. nine0005
Folk dances in India are closely related to everyday life and traditions and are not distinguished by any particular grace and virtuosity of performance.
Classical dances
Since ancient times wandering artists used to walk around India. They danced, sang and staged performances that told about the life of people and gods.
