A Shaadi, or wedding, is a significant cultural event that marks the union of two individuals in marriage. It often involves various rituals and ceremonies that vary by region, religion, and community. Common elements include the exchange of vows, rings, and sometimes a religious ceremony, which symbolizes the couple's commitment to each other. In many cultures, Shaadi celebrations can last several days and include pre-wedding events like Mehndi (henna application) and Sangeet (musical night). Family and friends gather to celebrate with food, music, and dance, making it a joyous occasion that strengthens social bonds and traditions.
