Davinder & Shahlini’s Wedding (Ponnurukku, Sangeet, Maiya)
I’ve just completed coverage of Davinder and Shahlini’s grand wedding celebrations which took place over a period of 5 continuous days. As it was a Punjabi Sikh and Ceylonese Hindu marriage, the celebrations included a gold-melting ceremony (Ponnurukku), groom’s party (Sangeet), bride’s oil ceremony (Maiya), groom’s oil ceremony (Maiya), a Hindu Indian temple wedding, a Sikh temple wedding and finally the dinner reception at Sheraton Subang. Truly an eye-opening experience.
