Wedding ceremonies by community

South Asian weddings are a sequence of ceremonies, and the sequence depends on the family’s community: a Sikh Punjabi wedding runs from Roka to Doli, a Pakistani one from Mangni through Dholki, Mayun, Mehndi, Baraat and Nikah to Walima. These guides list every ceremony in order for 28 traditions (397 ceremonies in all), with when each happens and what it means.
