§ 01 · What it is

The Anand Karaj, briefly.

For families planning · for vendors listing · for anyone who cares about doing it right.

The Sikh wedding ceremony performed at a gurdwara, centered on the four lavaan — hymns from the Guru Granth Sahib that each couple walks around four times to mark their union. The ceremony itself is relatively quiet and focused; the energy sits with family, the langar, and the procession.

Melaa's job is to show you the vendors who've actually done this before — not the ones who'll learn on your wedding.

§ 02 · What to ask

Five questions, every vendor should answer.

Copy these into your first DM or brief. Their answers will tell you everything.

01

Have you shot Anand Karajs at our specific gurdwara before?

02

Do you know when to step back during the lavaan and when to move?

03

Will you dress appropriately (heads covered, no leather)?

04

Can you stay through the langar for family photos?

05

Do you shoot the bride's household separately in the morning?
